DESCRIPTION

The Riu de Pierlas is another great adventure in this unusual landscape, which is called the “Colorado of Nice” ! A relief made of pelites, a reddish sedimentary rock. The session starts from the picturesque village of Pierlas for a long 2 hour uphill approach walk. Your efforts will be rewarded with a total immersion in an absolutely atypical wilderness. Technically it is not very difficult but it is a very long and physically demanding descent with about fifty obstacles, many abseils, de-escalations and a progression in a rather “chamois” terrain…

Meeting point

Once you have joined the D428 in the direction of Pierlas 06260, the meeting point is 3km away. In these last 3 km, you will pass very quickly a 1st bridge, some twists and turns and then a big left turn, 400m after this turn there is a parking area on the left at the start of a hiking trail indicated by a small sign numbered “108”, just after on the left there is a dead end track forbidden to traffic called “Piste de Girent” and a 2nd bridge. So if you see a second bridge, the meeting place is just 100m before it.
