You are entering a Protected Natural Area (Espace Naturel Sensible - ENS). This is an area recognised for its natural heritage (fauna, flora, landscape) but which is threatened or vulnerable by urbanisation or human activities.
The Mont Lachat ENS has been the site of ambitious restoration work.
It is also part of the Mont-Blanc World Heritage Site, and is part of a broader initiative led by the Conseil Départemental to preserve the region's heritage and promote public awareness.
