Description
This small walk will take you among the cottages typical of the Aravis of the village resort of Manigod. Between pastures and hamlets, the route offers several views of the Sulens massif, the Charvin, the Tournette and the valley below.
The departure in the heart of the authentic village of Manigod, offers you the opportunity to admire its typically mountain built heritage, including the Baroque Church of Saint Pierre de Manigod.
Between chalets, wooden log staircases and Bachal carved stones, the route quickly climbs to the heights of the village, gradually reaching beautiful landscapes of pastures to the place called the Walls.
During the walk, you can enjoy magnificent views of the peaks of the Aravis chain.
