Accesso:
Go to the village of Cruis, near Saint-Étienne-les-Orgues at the foot of the south face of the Montagne de Lure. Take the D16 towards Sigonce for 3.5 km and stop just after the bridge over the Lauzon (point 538 on the IGN map). Parking on the left, not far from the garbage containers.
Avvicinamento (20 min):
Take the track opposite the parking (water flow visible), then turn left twice to join the PR (marked trail) leading to the start of the mini canyon. The PR crosses the stream.
Giro (40 min):
A 12 m and a 15 m rappel on anchors; the rest is down-climbed. The bottom is muddy and sometimes slippery.
Ritorno (10 min):
After the two or three obstacles, exit as best you can on the left bank to rejoin the approach path.
