Walking tour: Tour du Char des Quais

A fine mountain meadow with an impregnable view of Mont Blanc, the Aravis range, the Dents du Midi and the peaks of the Vallée d’Aulps. Rearing of Abondance cows by the “Gaec du Mont-Clay” cooperative.Access from le Col de l'Encrenaz (15 minutes by foot) and can also be accessed after a walk from Graydon village (part of the walking route “Roc d’Enfer tour”). Col Ratti, which is the highest point of this Alpine meadow, is easy to reach and presents no technical challenges, and offers a wonderful panoramic view.

Come and visit this small dairy farm with its Alpine herd. The farmers will be delighted to chat about the breed (Abondance) and share their experience…You’ll find traditional farm produce that we’ve made: fresh milk, fromage frais, yoghurt (natural and fruit), Mont Caly delight and white Tomme cheese. We also have a choice of cheese and other local produce (honey, jam, cured sausage, eggs and Savoie wine) from our fellow producers and local cooperatives. Winter: from December to April, from 5pm to 6pm, free access to see cows in the barn. Summer: milking up on the mountain (from June to middel-September): come and see the cows being milked in the fresh air, every evening from 5pm to 6pm above the Col de l’Encrenaz.
