On the Croton Aqueduct
This short trip allows you to enjoy the forest, the beauty of the New Croton Dam and the waterfalls, but also to understand some of the infrastructure necessary for supplying water to New York City. Located about 35 km north of New York City, it was built between 1892 and 1906 to divert water from the Croton River to supply water to the city's many residents.
Lac de la Girotte from Les Granges
Magnificent view of Lac de la Girotte, its dam, Col du Joly and Mont Blanc. Striking contrasts and colours. The path takes us through the Montaz and Commanderie hills and magnificent alpine pastures covered in flowers. The climb through the forest is a little steep at the beginning. Significant incline.
Mont Coin from Cormet d'Arêches
One of the most beautiful viewpoints in Beaufortain, accessible to all and close to the Pierra Menta!
