Accessible hiking trail to Col des Sauts starting from "Sur les Bois".
You can access the "Sur les Bois" neighborhood by taking bus no. 1 and getting off at the "Rampignon" stop. Or park your car in an authorized parking spot.
Like the other route, this trail passes through the "Pré Vernet" parking lot, which is no longer accessible by motor vehicle. After "Pré Vernet", you take the classic ascent to reach the Col des Sauts.
The route starts from the "Sur les Bois" neighborhood and goes up to the Col des Sauts. It begins on the road to avoid the technical first part—making it more family-friendly. Then you rejoin the trails heading to "Pré Longé" via the Rampignon loop.
Between "Pré Longé" and "Pré Vernet", you can follow the road or take the steep trail shortcut. Both lead to the same place.
Caution: this remains a technical trail with rocks and roots between "Pré Vernet" and Col des Sauts. Please wear appropriate gear and bring enough water.
