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.

Points of interest

St Pierre Church of Manigod

Manigod church was built in baroque style.Originally, the church was a wooden building with a dirt floor. At the end of the 17th century, it was rebuilt in the baroque style that can be found on the facade with its portal. The bulbous bell tower of the church, typical of the time, is not satisfactory, because the sound of the bells is not heard enough in all the surrounding hamlets. Extension work on the church was carried out at the end of the 19th century. The bell tower is then rebuilt and moved. Inside the church, you find ridge vaults and cruciform pillars. The writings concerning her only date back to 1414, on the occasion of the pastoral visit of MGR Bertrand, Bishop of Geneva. Disability accessibility: The church is accessible, a door has been specifically designed for access to people in accompanied wheelchairs. Note that the right door opens from the inside.
