Description
In this open valley of the Drac Noir, the grassy slopes, hayfields and pastures are a favourite spot for marmots. The walk across the Basset plateau gives an outstanding view of the Charnières valley.
"On the Basset plateau, the griffon vultures are feasting on the raw flesh of a dead sheep. They fly away somewhat disappointed as I approach. However, the greediest one has to climb the slope in order to launch itself. Wings spread at last, it sets off on a comical, risky slalom through the rocks that are scattered across the pastures. With the extra kilos that it had gulped down it took quite some time for it to gain altitude!”
Daniel Briotet, warden in the Champsaur area
