05230, La Bâtie-Neuve
Been here?
Wild spot at 1650m in a forest setting, beside a small waterfall and a trail leading to 2463m with wide valley views. It is suitable for vans and campervans, with a forest track that is passable slowly but can be rough. The place is calm and used as a hiking departure point, so walkers may arrive between 06:00 and 08:00. There are no confirmed services.

Uncomplicated forest road for our van. Perfect place to spend the night, with only experienced hikers arriving very early, but that is part of choosing exceptional places. The trail leads to magnificent viewpoints.
Impeccable spot beside the forest road, with a lovely view over the valley. During the day it is a trailhead parking area, so people arrive quite early, between 6 and 8 a.m.
Incredible. The road was bumpy, but taking our time, we made it through with our 3-meter-high van. Two nights, a beautiful hike, and relaxation by the river. Would do it again.
Quiet and beautiful place, please keep it clean. Starting point for climbing Piolit. Two kilometers of track to get there.
Super peaceful spot with a great view! The only downside is the flies and somewhat difficult access, but with good suspension it is not too challenging.
A peaceful place accessible only to vans and campervans. Very quiet, with the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere even though the road is five minutes away. MUST BE PRESERVED!!! Note: there was no water in the river for me, so it was even quieter!
Keep this place clean!!
