Leaving the Col du Granier at the foot of a majestic mountain, you leave a path leading to a pretty belvedere on your right and gradually make your way towards the Ravines.
From here, you'll be greeted by beautiful meadows with a multitude of fragrant mountain flowers, including the famous Sabot de Venus wild orchid. If you're lucky enough to spot one or more, keep an eye out for the goddess Venus, who's probably not far away!
Once past the Granges de Joigny, where the hay is stored, and if you're observant, you'll be able to spot on the limestone slabs the traces of beautiful ammonites, snail-shaped fossils dating back tens of millions of years.
At Les Granges, turn around and take the same route back to Col du Granier.
