Walking route: La Pointe d'Autigny from Le Sauvage

Walking route: La Pointe d'Autigny from Le Sauvage

Description

Medium level hike. Magnificent view from the summit of Lake Geneva to Mont-Blanc. You will cross the chalets of Autigny and discover the imposing ridge of Mont Chauffé.

The Pointe d'Autigny hike with its three crosses is a round trip from the Le Sauvage parking lot.

This half-day hike, almost entirely in a nature reserve, takes you to the Pointe d'Autigny at an altitude of 1,800 meters.

Along the way, you'll skirt the imposing ridge of Mont Chauffé and admire the Abondance valley.

After crossing the Col de la Plagne, you'll pass the magnificent Autigny chalets, offering unobstructed views of the Ubine valley and Mont Chauffé, the Cornettes de Bise and Abondance.

These alpine pastures, where dairy cows graze, are home to Abondance cheese.

You'll then reach the three crosses and the Pointe d'Autigny, from where you can admire Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc. There's also an orientation table.
