  • ๐Ÿ”ด Hard for noobs. Very steep path with snow on top
  • ๐Ÿ”ต OK for good hikers

The snow is melting fast ๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒจ๏ธ. Let's check if the peak "Piquet de Nantes" still wears a snowy cap ๐Ÿ˜„โ„๏ธ. We'll drive for an hour ๐Ÿš— and park at Les Taillis, right past Nantes-en-Rattier. That's where our forest adventure begins ๐ŸŒฒ๐Ÿฅพ. We'll be surrounded by trees for quite a stretch, all the way until we get close to the summit ๐Ÿž๏ธ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ. As we near the top of Piquet de Nantes (2214m), we might walk on snow, so gear up with hiking shoes ๐Ÿฅพ. If we're lucky, we'll savor our lunch with a view ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ”๏ธ. Post-lunch, we'll slide down the slopes ๐Ÿ›ท until the snow bids us farewell. We'll then follow the mountain's ridge and re-enter the woodland realm ๐ŸŒ„๐ŸŒฒ. Our journey comes full circle as we trek back to where we started, the parking lot ๐Ÿ”„๐Ÿš™.
