Circuit pédestre des 5 cabanes - 6h30 - Départ Les Seiglières

The Circuit des 5 cabanes is a long trail entirely in the woods, where you will see tyipical buildings and old cabins.

Entirely in the woods, the Circuit des 5 Cabanes takes 6.5 hours to complete the 16-kilometer circuit and climb the 640-meter ascent. It is therefore suitable for hikers who are used to hiking long distances.

Park at the Les Seiglières parking lot and take the path through the woods behind the inn, towards Le Marais.

Cross a meadow, a forest track and then a clearing from which you can see the first hut on the circuit.

After visiting this former stable, which houses a series of heritage panels, follow the path to the cabane de la Coche.

Continue along an undergrowth path to the third hut, a typical black hut once occupied by lumberjacks.

Walk up a steep slope to a vast clearing where you'll find the fourth hut on the edge of the forest.
Enjoy a pleasant picnic stop here.

Climb back up through a clearing to a vast platform known as "Place Quinson", the highest point of the circuit.

Then descend towards Les Seiglières to the fifth hut, the beautiful "Baraque à Bonnet". Continue until you reach the cascade de l'Oursière. You will then return to your starting point.
