Description

Hike with views and balconies, before heading for the alpine pastures where cows and sheep graze: the Cabane du Petit Pâtre.
Discover the Petit Pâtre hut, and enjoy a hike that's both challenging and rewarding. From the forest trail starting from Le Peray, to the panoramic path on the ridge linking Croisse Baulet to Tête Noire, enjoy a varied hiking route. This hut in the heart of the mountains is not only a traditional shelter for shepherds, but also an essential stopping-off point for hikers in search of breathtaking panoramas. Picnic tables allow you to enjoy a well-deserved moment of relaxation. The breathtaking view of the Mont-Blanc range is a grandiose spectacle that rewards the effort of red-level hikers. This exhilarating trail takes you through remarkable landscapes, while respecting the pastoral environment that characterizes our region.
