Incredible walk. Don't bother about the short part where you turn and come back on yourselves. Once you get to the bench seat head back down to planay

September 4, 2022,Gorges de Ballandaz - Lac de Bozel

Walk not very difficult and mainly shaded. Trails embellished with explanations of water catchments and the Planay hydroelectric plant.
Return via the center of Planay, then to Bozel via a very beautiful, well-marked forest path. Possibility of cutting towards the campsite and the stadium several times to shorten (if necessary).
