Cascade de Autoire

From the village we headed down a narrow single track path and into the woods follow the course of the river.
After a 30 minute hike we were at the waterfalls. This was the next stop for us and the falls were huge.
After the falls we carried on hiking all the way up the side of the falls and back onto the main road. This was the route of the 2024 Tour de France and the riders names were still sprayed on the road.
Then we turned right and continued climbing until we could climb no more. We were at the top and we could see for miles in every direction and luckily the rain had stopped and the sun came out.
We continued hiking it had now been 90 minutes and the path narrowed as we passed the danger signs and continued.
Another 30 minutes later we came to an abandoned chateau hanging on the side of the cliff.
After a quick explore we started making our way back down the side of the mountain.
2 1/2 hours and 7.5kms of hiking later we were back at Wanda. We had climbed 313 meters and it really felt like it.
It was now 1:30pm and we had planned on spending the night at Autoire but we were in abit of a bowl and the internet signal was really weak and we need wifi to make a booking for tomorrows trip so we moved into the village of Padriac to another free aire. And it’s raining again.Read more
