Description
d'Albiez, explore the trails leading to the beautiful Aiguilles d'Arves, crossing mountain pastures, streams and forests. Keep an eye out for cows, marmots and chamois! This is an ideal nature walk for families.
This gently uphill hike is ideal for groups of all abilities, with family or friends. The first part takes you to the Montrond plateau, once a popular alpine pasture. On the way back, you pass through the hamlets of La Saussaz and La Villette. The latter is linked to the Col du Mollard by an old path once used by schoolchildren. On your return to Le Mollard, take advantage of the nearby lake: a magnificent view and a refreshing swim await you.
