Watch out for
- Now: It's hunting season (September to February). Driven shoots (battues) take place in the woods: look for "Chasse en cours" signs, keep your dog close, and a hi-vis vest helps.
- From 15 April to 30 June, French law says dogs in woods and forests must be on a lead whenever they're off the main forest tracks.
- From June to September cattle and sheep graze the high pastures, and flocks may be guarded by big white dogs (patous). Put your dog on a lead and go round them.
- From December to April part of this area is ski piste, where dogs usually aren't allowed.
- Now: Paths above about 1,500 m can be snowy or icy from November to May. This walk goes up to about 1,675 m.
- Mountain rivers are cold and fast, and can rise quickly after storms or when dams release water. Keep your dog out of strong currents.
