Course of events

- Meeting in front of the Tourist Office of Allos Village.
You will have to plan a trip of about 30 minutes by vehicle to reach the parking lot of Le Laus, gateway to the Mercantour National Park.

- A walk of approach will be necessary to reach the site: the opportunity to discover the natural environment in a completely different way, in the protected area of the Mercantour National Park.

- Equipped with headlamps, you will first reach the shores of Lake Allos, a natural wonder located in the heart of the Park, to watch a magnificent sunset.
You will continue this night hike towards the Méouilles plateau, an exceptional observation site at the foot of Mount Pelat (3050m).

- You will then go down through a larch wood which will take mysterious paces, before reaching the parking lot.
