- ๐ด Hard for noobs. Very steep path with snow on top
- ๐ต OK for good hikers
The snow is melting fast ๐๐จ๏ธ. Let's check if the peak "Piquet de Nantes" still wears a snowy cap ๐โ๏ธ. We'll drive for an hour ๐ and park at Les Taillis, right past Nantes-en-Rattier. That's where our forest adventure begins ๐ฒ๐ฅพ. We'll be surrounded by trees for quite a stretch, all the way until we get close to the summit ๐๏ธ๐ถโโ๏ธ. As we near the top of Piquet de Nantes (2214m), we might walk on snow, so gear up with hiking shoes ๐ฅพ. If we're lucky, we'll savor our lunch with a view ๐๐๏ธ. Post-lunch, we'll slide down the slopes ๐ท until the snow bids us farewell. We'll then follow the mountain's ridge and re-enter the woodland realm ๐๐ฒ. Our journey comes full circle as we trek back to where we started, the parking lot ๐๐.
