    An easy-to-climb mountain with a simple but very charming hut nearby (Refuge des Merveilles). The area has been a mythical place for thousands of years. The names in the surroundings such as "Valley of Wonders," "Valley of Hell," "Devil's Summit," or "Witch's Valley" testify to this centuries-old belief. In addition, there are about 35,000 rock carvings in the Valley of Wonders, which have long been scientifically studied.
