Early in the morning, the dewdrops look like diamonds clinging to the tall grass. Then you smell the resinous scent of Scots pine warmed by the rising sun. Welcome to an island with a particularly dry climate. It's home to rare species that can withstand the aridity. On the banks of the river, you'll appreciate the contrast of freshness in all seasons. Don't forget to look up at Mont froid and the Bramanette mountain pasture. The Val d'Ambin is calling you!
Caution: the trail may be blocked by sheep pen nets. Protection dogs present.
