History, culture and heritage
Before arriving at the Col de Bresson, you will see the herds of cows and the alpine chalets, in particular that of Conchette where Beaufort is made on site. From the Presset refuge, a splendid view of the Pierra Menta (the middle stone), a majestic monolith recognizable from afar, which gave its name to the mythical ski mountaineering race. The Presset sector is ideal for observing the many ibexes and for picnicking by the lake.
