If you too with the arrival of fine weather you only want to go out, then this article is for you 😉. We have concocted a selection of 6 activities for you to do in Arêches-Beaufort. 🤌
1. Climbing the Col du Pré by bike
Located at an altitude of 1700m, the Col du Pré is an open window on Mont-Blanc. It is an interesting starting point for hikes, a difficult goal for cyclists, a magnificent view of Mont Blanc or the Arêches valley.

3. Stroll around the lake of St Guérin
