Plan Col hike from Vaunoire valley

Description

Very beautiful trail starting from the Vaunoire's valley, between Taillefer and Armet ranges.
Plan Col is a high mountain pasture perched on a pass which allows to join Ornon's village and the Malsanne's valley.
The summer a shepherd leads its herd there, pay attention on his dog Patou

From Moulin Vieux, drive until the car park, at the end of the road leading in Vaunoire Combe. From there, follow the large and non-steep path going into the end of the valley. Keep on this path, cross the torrent coming from Taillefer, and go up on a meandering way accross beech trees. After a first block, you arrive on a little berm often full of snow lately. Cross the torrent (bridge), and go up on a meandering way again, reach a large combe. Afetr a small entrance, the valley becomes little larger. Keep on the pass and ford the torrent. Climb then in diagonal on Plan Col side, reached in a last switchback. Same way to get down.
