A relatively steep hike with a magnificent panorama at the summit, dominated by the Croix du Planet.

Discover the Croix du Planet hiking trail, starting from the charming chalet Le Refuge in the picturesque village of Cordon. This demanding hike, suitable for experienced walkers (red level - difficult), takes you through an intense route to the tête du Planet. Up there, an unrivalled reward awaits you: an exceptional panoramic view of the valley and the majestic Mont Blanc range. The route, though strenuous, is enriched by the breathtaking mountain scenery and views that line the way. Also welcoming your faithful four-legged companions, this hike is the perfect opportunity to share moments of complicity in the heart of nature. Once you've reached the summit, you can continue along the ridge towards the Petit Pâtre hut, where picnic tables provide a well-deserved break.
