A beautiful walk to the valley of the Bauches. This hanging valley offers a superb panoramic view of Mont Blanc seen between larches and mountain chalets.
Take the Montchavin chairlift to Le Sauget. From there, after a short climb, go left (by a wooden signpost) to follow a forest road that goes down to La Fontaine Froide. Then take the right-hand trail through the spruce forest to les Chalets des Bauches which mark the beginning of the valley.
Return by the same route
Warning – Fontaine Froide: take the first path on your right, 50 metres before the safety nets.
