Mt. Vitet Adventure

[DaveM]

Vicki and I were delighted to be able to find our way to the top of Mt Vitet recently . . . it was a longtime curiosity and we were well rewarded with lucky weather and spectacular views!

It’s not an easy trail, but doable for the determined! Took about an hour and a half overall.

From which side did you begin the trek ? Toiny ?

The trail begins on the uphill side of the road leading away from camaruche. Coming out of lorient at the top of the hill you turn right then keep going for a while in the direction of toiny/petit cul de sac.

not sure I follow.
are you referring to the route de Vitet towards the route de Dévé ?

 

[DaveM]

The taxi dropped us off at the green circle and picked us up at the red circle. There is no parking. But now that we did the whole loop I would just go up and then back down the same first half of the loop. The views on the second half are not worth the bushwhacking and with no colored dots to indicate the trail, it is much more difficult route finding. There were easy red dots going up that can be followed right back down the same route back to the green circle.

Did you have a guide? We have stayed in Vitet for many years and have tried to spot anything resembling a trailhead but have never seen such. Plus, I believe all that is private property ???
