The Planted Stone

Description

A beautiful foray into the Signaraux valley, very varied, with a course in mountain pastures, then in the forest, and finally a last very intimate part in a superb beech forest.

Departure: parking lot at the Signaraux station, picnic room

From the Signaraux car park, La Motte d'Aveillans, hike in the meadows of Matheysine (populated with cattle in summer). Enjoy a beautiful view of the 3 lakes of Laffrey, Petichet and Pierre-Châtel and the surrounding mountains.

Good to know : The mandements (administrative and religious units) were sometimes delimited by erected cut stones. This Pierre Plantée is one of them, marking the end of a quarrel between the people of La Motte d'Aveillans and those of La Mure. It is still today the limit between the two municipalities.
