Plateau de Retord

Highlight • Natural

The Retord plateau is a fantastic place for hiking or cycling. This was one of my highlights of the entire GTJ. A mix between wide open spaces and wooded areas! On a clear day, from the highest points of the plateau, you have a breathtaking view of Mont Blanc.

About 10km of path between Plans d'Hotones and the Col de Cuvéry, along the GTJ VTT, it goes on gravel and it's beautiful. Please respect the places!
