Reception complements

In spring, snow may still be present on certain sections (mainly in April), and muddy conditions may occur after snowmelt or following rainfall.
The weather changes quickly in the mountains, so be sure to check the forecast before heading out and take a warm, waterproof layer with you.
The Croix des Salles is exposed to a steep drop — stay safe by keeping close to the cross.

Guidebook with maps/step-by-step

1/ From the Cuchet car park, take the flat trail in front of the Chalet d'Emilie's terrace, heading toward Le Châble. You’ll pass near the Mont-Blanc Bike Park.

2/ Continue to the right in the direction of Châble d'en Bas - Sommet des Salles.

3/ Keep going uphill toward the Sommet des Salles.

4/ The climb ends at the top of the ski area, where the ski lifts converge.

5/ Begin the descent toward Le Jaillet.

6/ You'll see the arrival of a chairlift. On the left, a small trail leads you to La Croix des Salles, an unmissable viewpoint!

7/ Retrace your steps and head toward the Jaillet gondola. Near the arrival station, you’ll find a children’s play area and a food truck open in July and August.

8/ Continue downhill toward La Ravine / Alpage de Beauregard. You’ll pass close to Lac du Jaillet—don’t hesitate to make a small detour to see the surprising orientation table above the lake.

9/ Pass in front of the restaurant "La P’tite Ravine" and keep descending toward the "Alpage de Beauregard".
(This is where Milka filmed its famous ad: “And the marmot wraps the chocolate in foil.”)

10/ At the "Alpage de Beauregard", turn right to return to the Cuchet car park.
