A lovely walk that takes the whole family up to the Vallée des Bauches. This suspended valley offers superb panoramic views of Mont Blanc, between larch trees 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.
