The Niard Pass from Le Peray – hiking trail

Discover the Col de Niard hike: this trail begins in the forest, heading toward Tête Noire. As you climb, the forest gives way to an open plateau, offering spectacular panoramic views from the Plateau des Bénés. Here, pastoral life is still very much alive: don’t be surprised to come across cows grazing in the mountain pastures. The highlight of this hike is undoubtedly the Col de Niard. A cascade of natural beauty unfolds before you, with majestic views of the surrounding peaks. Easily accessible, this trail is perfect for all nature lovers. A map is available at the tourist office to help you explore this trail and other routes. No matter which hike you choose, be sure to pack cereal bars, plenty of water, sunglasses, sunscreen, a small first-aid kit, and clothing appropriate for your outing based on the season and the forecast. This route can also be done with a guide by hiring a private mountain guide.
