The jewel of the municipality of Saint-Martin is the Ossona plateau, which was abandoned several decades ago but has been given a new lease of life thanks to a complete restoration. The path from Les Prixes to La Luette takes you through the agritourism hamlet of Ossona and then across the suspension footbridge of the same name. The hamlet is situated at the heart of an extensive network of footpaths, and now offers a wide range of outdoor activities including archery, observing wild flora and fauna, meeting farm animals, walks along theme trails and rock climbing. To make the most of this enchanting landscape, you can stay in one of the restored houses, which feature all modern comforts.
From Les Prixes, situated below the village of Vernamiège, follow a path winding through forests and pastures to La Marguéronne and then Le Grand Sevanne before reaching the agritourism hamlet of Ossona. After you have crossed the Ossona suspension footbridge, continue along the slopes high above the river La Borgne until you reach a path equipped with safety chains, which leads you to a small waterfall. Finally, cross the bridge over La Borgne to reach the village of La Luette on the other side, at precisely 1,000 metres above sea level.
