Habert de la Sitre

The place

Habert at 2100 m in the Belledonne massif (Isère). Still exists but now reserved exclusively for shepherds and closed to the general public. Access: beyond the Refuge du Pré Molard, follow the north side of the knoll opposite, the trail climbs to a col east of the Pointe Saint-Mury, cross the gully descending from the Sitre (watch for snow accumulation on the final north-facing traverse), then follow the rock ledge and descend to the habert. Water only when the shepherd is present.
