Village Loop - Hiking Trail

A short loop through the center of the village of Cordon, perfect for discovering the charm of the “Balcony of Mont Blanc” and its small hamlets.

A walk through the village center, near homes and a small stream.
An ideal route for hikers who prefer trails with gentle slopes.

Update as of May 13, 2026: Please be advised that on the section between the village center parking lot and the “Cart” sawmill, a herd accompanied by guard dogs is located near the trail. The guard dogs will be present for about ten days.
