Description

A short, easy hike through farms and chalets, between roads and paths, at medium altitude and at the gateway to the alpine pastures.

Get closer to the mountains with this moderate hiking route, ideal for all hikers.

Starting from the Charbonnière parking lot, this trail takes you through forests before reaching the heights of the ski slopes. You'll enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountain range and the majestic Mont-Blanc.

As you stroll along, you may even spot cows grazing, adding a bucolic touch to your adventure. Accessible to hikers of all levels (blue - moderate), this trail is also open to walkers accompanied by their pets on a leash.

Between village and mountain pasture, this walk is an ideal way to discover the mountain world.

Difficult sections

None, but take care on the crossing, which can't be done too early in the spring (stream and snow bridges).
