La Barre des Dourbes

A hike through high-altitude beech forests to reach the Dourbes bar and its magnificent ridge path with breathtaking views of the valleys. This mountain stretches its long limestone cliff, from north to south, for nearly ten kilometers.

The view from the Barre des Dourbes is breathtaking. This hike also passes through the Trou de Saint-Martin. Starting from the Serre forest house, located 1 km after the hamlet of Dourbes, this hike is a classic that leads to the ridge of the Barre des Dourbes, at an altitude of 1700 m. Climb up the Pas de Tartonne, follow the ridge to the Trou de Saint-Martin, a natural cavity in the rock leading to the void, and go back down via the Pas de la Faye. Breathtaking landscapes!
