Description

More than 100 km of marked routes are available, from the valley (630 m) to the summit of the mountain pastures (2116 m). Discover the playful marmots of the Col de la Ramaz or climb to the Pic de Marcelly via the magnificent glacial lake of Roy. Marvel at the view from the Pointe de Chalune, which stretches from Lake Geneva to the Mont Blanc chain. Contact the mountain guides for children's outings, hikes with tasting, mouflon and chamois hunts.

Discover the diverse heritage of the two villages; from the 13th century Chartreuse de Mélan and its contemporary sculpture park to the Hauts Fleury cheese factory and its multimedia centre for the interpretation of mountain agriculture.
