Small easy walk connecting the village of "Crest-Voland" to the hamlet of "Le Cernix".
TO KNOW :
The hamlet of Cernix belongs to the municipality of Cohennoz, whose capital is 5 km away. In the past, because of this distance, the inhabitants of Cernix went to school and to the Church of Crest-Voland, while those of the chief town went to Héry sur Ugine, on the opposite slope, until the building of their own Church in 1766. Since the 1960s, Le Cernix has been oriented towards tourism and equipped with ski lifts. The hamlet has become urbanized and concentrates 90% of the population in the year of Cohennoz.
