May 3, 2026,Le Chasseron ⛰️

The starting point for the tour was the 🅿️ at "Col des Etroits" above Ste-Croix. Afterwards, the ascent followed over the "Petites Roches" ridge to the summit of Chasseron. ⛰️

On the descent, the route led me into the village of "Les Rasses" and then through Sainte-Croix, back to the parking lot.
