Description

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 Le Refuge restaurant. This demanding hike through the forest is suitable for experienced walkers (red level - difficult). Once you've reached the top, an unrivalled reward awaits you: an exceptional panoramic view of the valley and the majestic Mont Blanc range. The route, though challenging, is enriched by the mountain environment and views along the way. With your faithful four-legged companions also welcome (on leash), 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.
