From the ski resort, walk up to Beauregard then follow the ridge to the Pic de Château-Renard (possible future OPTION of taking the chairlift to 2,600 metres). You can visit the Astronomical Observatory (book ahead) before taking the Old Copper Mine discovery trail back down. Guided tours available (book ahead).
Return to St Véran via the Grand Canal or, in summer, take the shuttle bus from the Marble Quarry.
