Pedestrian path of the Ravaux Pass

This 13.4 km trail, which lasts 5 hours, is not very difficult. It begins on a wide, gently sloping trail to landmark #25 and then follows a small path over the Houé River before arriving at the Pompidou Bridge, a remnant of the 1960s logging industry. Then, you will start a nice flat walk in humid forest and will pass small stone bridges made at the beginning of the last century before arriving at the banyan tree area (landmark n°16), then you will cross a niaouli forest before observing the magnificent view on the chain (altitude of 447m) at the landmark n° 15. Then, you will join again a wide trail (also accessible to mountain bikes) to the famous heart of Farino and the rest area of the Houé camp (landmark n°20). More picnic tables are available at the kaori area (marker #21). You will then have to turn right at the landmark n°44 to join the pretty river "Houé" at the level of the Bains de la Houé. Then you will come back to the reception by passing again in front of the Pompidou bridge and by resuming the trail taken at the outset. © Text SMGF
