ITINERARY
This walk starts at the bottom of the Alpauris chairlift, in the Gorges de Sarenne. From the resort, take the Auris Express, Les Louvets and then the first section of the Alpauris to reach the starting point.

Once there, follow the purple markers: they'll guide you to the banks of the Gua, a pretty river that meanders under bare trees in winter.

The route then takes you to the Auberge de la Combe Haute, where you can take a break or have something to eat. After this stop, continue up the trail, then make a round trip along the indicated route (see GPX).

To return to the resort, simply take the Alpauris chairlift back up to the Auris ski area.
