Description

A circular walk around the Jaillet dam with fun games, information panels, picnic tables and plancha.

A fun itinerary of about twenty minutes near the Jaillet cable car.
Let yourself be guided towards this artificial water reservoir... Water, an essential element for producing artificial snow, is a real mirror of the Mont-Blanc massif...
Facing the French Alps, you can rest, play, barbecue...

A few explanations on pastoralism and artificial snow mark out the route and explain life in our mountain pastures and how the snow production system works.
For the little ones, a game of Goose and the "Têtes à trous" (holes in the head) allow them to discover the mountain jobs and the winter face of the Portes du Mont-Blanc ski area in a fun way.
Feeling hungry? An electric griddle is freely available from 10am to 8pm. Download the Cooxy application on your smartphone, connect via Bluetooth to the plancha and off you go for 45 minutes of heating (automatic cut-off if you stray too far). Clean it with water and a cloth after use (no chemicals).

Stroll, listen, breathe, in short... enjoy the mountain and the view
