Description

Starting from the Cordon church, this accessible walk allows you to discover the village in its entirety: the traditional habitat, its hillsides, farms, granaries, bread ovens, and more.

This walk is perfect for the whole family. It allows you to discover both the beauty of the landscape and its traditional heritage.

The walk begins in the heart of the village, behind the church. Before setting off, take the opportunity to stroll through the village, admire the view and discover its local architecture.

The trail passes by numerous mountain farms. Depending on the season, this bucolic setting is dotted with cows, goats and sometimes sheep.

Following the road, the trail gradually rises to offer an exceptional view of the Mont-Blanc chain at La Plagne.
