Route questions, answered
Specific planning questions, with the scope of each source kept visible.
Do these walks climb the Baraque de Fraiture summit?
That is not established by the checked sources. La Balade du Diable begins at the station; Sacrawé is a nearby reserve walk. They are listed as local walking options rather than verified summit ascents.

How long do the 5 km and 6 km walks take?
The official listings give distances but no duration or ascent figure. Those fields remain open rather than being estimated.
