Tips

Hiking

Please note, to access Rieussec, you must cross the Domaine des Blachas campsite on foot. The right of passage is only valid as far as the Rieussec bridge, you must turn immediately to the right, into the dry river bed. After the bridge, access is private and reserved for campers.
This hike is very difficult, not at all suitable for uninitiated people, unequipped and even less so with children.
