From the gîte, take the bridge across the Bouchet torrent and follow the GR58 towards the Colette de Gilly (small col). You'll pass the little oratory of Sainte Marie Madeleine. This beautiful walk takes you through the forest and along a balcony path to the village of Valpreveyre, from where you'll take the GR58 hiking route leading through the forest back to Abriès.
