IGN cards
Description
Storm Mount Barral. At the top, admire the Dévoluy massif and its majestic mountains such as the Grand Ferrand and the Aiguilles de Lus.
Departure from Col de Menée (parking), take the direction of Mont Barral, passing by The Tunnel 1 then Pré Rond 2. The trail is narrower and the slope gradually increases along the ridge to the summit of Mount Barral 3 (beautiful panorama over the whole region). From there, continue south to reach Crête de Jiboui Crest 4 and then turn to the right to take the GR 93 (white-red markings) for a moment until the Paturage de Jiboui junction 5. The return to the Col de Menée takes place along a path along the alpine meadows and in the undergrowth (yellow and green markings).

Advice
You are on summery areas, maybe you will meet protective dogs, often Patous. Always be sure to bypass the herds, while remaining calm while the dog identifies you, not caressing or threatening them. If you have a dog (not recommended), keep it on a leash.Use the passageways to cross the fences, close the gates and barriers, stay on the marked paths.Staying on marked paths also means respecting private property.
Les chiens de protection des troupeaux
En alpage, les chiens de protection sont là pour protéger les troupeaux des prédateurs. Lorsque je randonne, j’adapte mon comportement en contournant le troupeau et en marquant une pause pour que le chien m’identifie. Cliquez ici pour voir la vidéo : c'est quoi au juste un chien de protection ?
