Description of the route
From the 1° Maggio Square take by car the road to Perloz, which leads to the Baraing Castle, and leave the car a couple of hairpin bends above the castle (Bousc Daré area). Alternatively, you can leave your car in the parking on 1° Maggio Square and take the walking path leading near the Baraing castle. From here take the path numbered 103 A (Chemin des Vignobles) and go all the way through the vineyards until you reach the village of Donnas and the Roman arch.
The mountainside is crossed by an evocative road that runs through the vineyards to the town of Donnas. During the route you can see the topie (pergolas) that support the vines and the barmets (cellars carved under a large boulder).
The itinerary largely follows the route of stage 3 (Fontainemore-Donnas) of the Cammino Balteo.
