A path which winds between blueberries in magnificent wood of épiceas and in the direction of the chalets of Avenaz in the middle of high mountain pastures, with a wonderfull view on all the chain of Mont Blanc.

Discover Cordon's enchanting landscapes on the Chalets de l'Avenaz hiking trail, a delight for nature lovers and pastoralists alike. To begin your adventure, head for the Lezaive d'en Haut parking lot. From here, a well-marked path takes you through the forest to Les Plaines, where picnic tables provide a well-deserved break. Continue on to the Chalets de l'Avenaz, traditional witnesses of the region's pastoral activity. This typical mountain pasture, nestled in the heart of the mountains, is the ideal place for a contemplative pause in front of the surrounding peaks. Finally, you'll make your way to the Col de Jaillet. This section of the hike offers a grandiose finale with breathtaking views over the valley and neighboring mountain ranges. Accessible to hikers of orange level (fairly difficult), this route is also an excellent choice on hot days, thanks to its altitude and shaded areas. Don't forget that your four-legged friends are welcome to share this magnificent route with you.
