Description

A short 2-day itinerary in the heart of the Doran mountain pastures. At the end of your first day's walk, you'll have a magnificent view of the 2750m-high Pointe Percée.

Nestling in the heart of an imposing cirque of mountains dominated by the Pointe Percée, the highest peak in the Aravis range, the Doran mountain pasture offers you the chance to observe - from June to September - its ancestral agro-pastoral and cheese-making activities, where you can buy fresh cheese.

Trace the astonishing history of a chapel built by the scouts, and discover Alpine flora and fauna, including the astonishing Bearded Vulture, reintroduced here a few years ago.

The charming Doran refuge offers a warm welcome for a drink, blueberry tart and an exceptional night's sleep.
