Cabane Panossière from Fionnay

Please note that sheepdogs are present on this route, see below for more information. Setting off from Fionnay, follow the route which ascends towards the FXB Panossière hut. After a steep climb, a delightful bisse irrigation canal leads you to the foot of the moraine. (In the middle of the moraine, a short round trip can be taken to cross the Passerelle de Corbassière walkway.) A second ascent takes you to the hut. From here you head towards the Col des Otanes pass, which is 300 metres higher up. A long descent down the pass awaits you on the return to Fionnay. SHEEPDOGS - behaviour rules There will be sheepdogs in this pasture to protect the production animals against wolf attacks. If you come across them, there are a few rules of behaviour you should know: - Stay calm - Don’t threaten them - Don’t stroke them - Move slowly - Keep as much distance as possible from the herd - Avoid bringing your own dog. If you do, keep your dog on a lead and inform the shepherds/shepherdesses to ensure you can cross safely. - If you’re cycling, get off your bike. The alpine farmers’ contact details are shown along the path. Please feel free to call them if necessary.
