Joined with another couple that stayed in the same buidling, we climbed the moiuntain the village is aned after: Piolit. We drive there by car, parked below the moiuntain on a small patch and zigzagged up the montain, starting in woodland but later on grassy pastures, to a path just down the ridge, until the last part that went up rather steep. But it was worth the climb for the fine views - alas it was a bit cloudy. The walk back followed the ridge to a forest road. We missed a path and came down more eastern than anticipated - so we had to walk another kilometer. There is no map fro this walk - it's not on any map I bought....

google * The track on GoogleEarth. Since I didn't have a map myself (we borrowed one from the host) there is no mapping data (It's IGN 3437OT or 3437ET) * 1093 x 784 * (207KB)
01-MorningFog * It's going to be a fine day - because of the fog over the lake. It has been much thicker, it's evaporating fast. * 1984 x 1156 * (222KB)
02-Chorges-1 * Walking up in the woods gives a sudden view on Chorges at times. * 1984 x 1488 * (454KB)
03-IntoTheGorge * Following the slope, we had to over the stream - which meant getting deep into the gorge * 1488 x 1984 * (633KB)
04-StreamPath * The stream is quite close to the path at times * 3072 x 2304 * (1.26MB)
