A little chairlift ride and presto! You are already at an altitude of 1700 meters! The hardest part is over, but the hike continues with a superb view of Mont-Blanc and a refuge that offers great food at the end of the trip...
A little chairlift ride and presto! You are already at an altitude of 1700 meters! The hardest part is over, but the hike continues with a superb view of Mont-Blanc and a refuge that offers great food at the end of the trip...

The adventure begins with a little trip in the air...
We all sit together on the chairlift, we lower the safety bar, and off we go! The feet swing in the void and we are just at the right height to say hello to the birds and squirrels in the spruces.

But here we are already at the finish and you still have to walk a bit to reach the orientation table at the Tête de Cuvy. All round, it indicates the names of summits that you can see at 360°. Mont-Blanc, Pierra Menta,… what a panorama!

But the snack time which is approaching makes you take the road again in the middle of the rhododendrons. And here is the refuge of the mountain pasture! Ideally located to enjoy the view while tasting a delicious blueberry pie.

Here you are perked up to begin the descent. Enough energy to walk down to the bottom? If you feel tired, you can also take the chairlift again. The descent is even more impressive than the ascent!
