Description

A trail that gives you an opportunity to discover "le Bief", a reach that used to carry water to irrigate the "montagnettes". This is a pleasant, relaxing walk with wonderful views over the valley and Mont Blanc.

In the shade of fir and spruce trees, follow the route of this old reach, imagining the ingenuity that our ancestors used to lead the water from the mountain streams to these hillocks.
A little history: a reach could be dug into earth and rock or made with wooden planks supported by beams attached to the mountainside.
You can see some of these if you take another footpath: "Montchavin-Les Coches via Praz Salvard"
