[Trek] Tour de la Blachère
In the village of La Motte-du-Caire (700 m), take the D951 toward Turriers. Shortly after passing the last houses, turn right at the “Rivaine” intersection and you’ll soon reach another intersection.
At the “St Etienne” intersection (710 m), leave the GR®653D and continue on the PR. Climb up a trail overlooking the Grand Vallon valley. After a 1.5-hour climb, you’ll reach the Grand Abian farm.
At the Grand Abian farm (1,130 m), turn right at the ruins and continue along a dirt road. Follow it due south for 1 km until you reach a junction at a right-hand bend.
Leave the track to follow a trail to the left through the woods. At a small pass, descend to the right. After numerous switchbacks, reach a path in the Gypière valley. Follow it to the left until you reach the D1.
At “La Gypière” (655 m), turn right and follow the road for 1 km.
At the Bas-Plan intersection, turn right inside the hamlet onto a trail that climbs up the valley, passes through “Le Plan,” and leads to La Motte-du-Caire.
