Hicking trail from top of Jaillet to the village
IGN cards
Description
Easy walk offering fantastic views over the village, Mont Blanc and Chamonix aiguilles.
Take the Jaillet gondola (open only during the summer season). Out of season, you can take the pedestrian path of the Petite Ravine or the TPMB. From the top station, a path follows the “Les Près” ski slope downhill to the left, into a fir-tree forest, where it joins the forest track.
It leads to a walk in the woods, and then goes along and crosses the slope Bel Ava. At the end, keep going down on the Jaillet road, with great views overlooking Megeve and Mont Blanc range.
