About
Trail Walking of 3.6 km to be discovered at Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Haute-Loire, Retournac. This trail is proposed by phcol.
Description
Accès au plateau par la grotte de St règnier
1) Au 3ème croisement, prendre à gauche direction Nord-Ouest en continuant à suivre le balisage Jaune. La piste maintenant redescend pendant 300m.
(2) A la fourche, quitter la piste descendante balisée en Jaune pour emprunter la piste à gauche non balisée.
(3) Au bout de 150m environ, repérer sur les arbres à gauche un balisage Bleu clair, un peu terni, qui marque le départ d'une trace très discrète (ne figure pas sur la carte IGN). Suivre cette trace jusqu'au pied de la falaise.
Longer la falaise à droite sur une vingtaine de mètres et repérer entre deux blocs rocheux une petite entrée, sorte de soupirail, permettant l'accès à la grotte à la voûte ouverte vers la lumière. Au fond de celle-ci, vers la droite, un passage très étroit se terminant par une "chatière", demandant un peu plus de souplesse, constitue la voie de sortie.
Ce passage est tout à fait possible si l'on tient compte des recommandations émises
