La Plagne Loop - Summer Hiking Trail

Suggested walking route starting at the church in Cordon: an accessible walk that lets you explore the entire village—its traditional houses, 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 the area’s traditional heritage.

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

The trail passes near numerous mountain farms. This idyllic setting is dotted, depending on the season, with cows, goats, and sometimes sheep.

As you follow the road, the trail gradually climbs, offering you an exceptional view of the Mont Blanc range at a place called La Plagne.
