On the first section of the route it is easy to find some fox trail and to observe the Ring Ouzel. We might hear screeching marmots among the blocks of granite, where white partridges and stoats also live.
A large part of the route is dominated by the thistle and the herbaceous layer. Once we get to the Ensagents lake we leave the pine forest and come to fields of grass which grows between blocks of granite. Examples include the thrift and the Alpine linaria.
Level: Easy
