A fun walk that will plunge you into the history of this manmade waterway though unspoiled natural surroundings. A cool walk!
The Grand Bief trail was created on the initiative of the village school in collaboration with the Office Nationale des Forêts and the local authorities in Aime la Plagne.
As you follow the trail, you will rediscover moments of local history, strongly marked by man and his natural environment.
