Access: machine translated ➜

From Nice on the N 202 towards Digne; after 28 km and immediately after a long tunnel, turn off the N 2202 onto the D 2205 and up the Tinée valley. After 18 km and 7.5 km after Pont-de-Cians, turn right and climb 6 km to the village of Marie, where we park.

Approach (1 h 30): machine translated ➜

Continue on the road that becomes a dirt road. In the first left serpentine, a path goes off to the right that goes up and behind the Vallon d'Ullion. One passes the crest of Serre Blanc (920 m a.s.l.). About 200 m further, a path branches off to the right that takes us down to the stream in about 10 min.

Tour (4 h): machine translated ➜

The scenic approach alone makes the tour worthwhile. The Vallon d'Ullion is not just a natural forest canyon. The tufa formations overflowing with water are interesting. The pools regularly lack the necessary water depth for slides and jumps.

Return (30 min): machine translated ➜

About 800 m after the last (17 m) rappel, get off at the stone bridge and go right (north) up to Marie, past the St Roche chapel.
