Le Saut de Vezoles from the col de Cabaretou

Le Saut de Vezoles from the col de Cabaretou above St Pons. 6km/GR7 (red/white+yellow) 1.30h . This is normally a lovely cool, easy walk that is mostly level, through the woods to the lookout but of course today it was one of the hottest days of the year and it was even 28 up there but that was better than 38c lower down. The walk starts by parking at the picnic area on the col and following the GR to reach a yellow route to the Lac de Vezoles. The walk is mostly along a forest track with views of the valley below from time to time. Turn for the lookout and after a short distance through pretty heather covered slopes you will come to the wonderful view of the waterfalls from the lookout. There is a font along the way by in was mostly empty so take water for your dog if hot. This walk can be extended to include the yellow circuit up to the lake adding another 4km to the walk or a circuit of the lake as well which adds another 9km to the distance. Returning the same way or you can take the forest track opposite the view point.
