Route Details

- The trail can be walked in either direction, but this description follows the Kotençur direction.
- Starting from the bridge in Amlakit village center, the path immediately climbs steeply in zigzags.
- The trail is clear and well-defined, though it occasionally splits into short branches that soon rejoin.
- At the end of the ascent, you’ll see the plateau houses (1.6 km).
- At the first cabin, a signpost directs you to turn left.
- The trail continues with a gentle incline toward the hill on the left.
- Follow the ridge line until you reach a viewpoint overlooking the Palovit Valley.
- This section can be slightly confusing — stay alert and follow the waymarks carefully. The route remains well above the path you came from.
- The views along this section are spectacular.
- The trail then begins to descend until you reach the main road, where you turn right and start climbing again (4.3 km).
- Upon reaching the Palovit Plateau sign (6 km), turn left and descend.
- If you continue straight instead, you’ll reach Apivanak Plateau (described in Route Y06).
- Pass through Palovit center, then enter the trail beyond the last houses.
- Keeping the river on your left, follow the path downhill all the way back to Amlakit Plateau.

Risks

Possible bear encounters. After Kotençur Plateau, the trail can become confusing in fog — proceed carefully and pay close attention to trail markers. Mobile coverage is generally unavailable throughout the route.
