Cascades de la Pleureuse et de la Sauffaz walks
Le Grand Pré via the Chalets de Sales
A very beautiful hike starting from Le Lignon in a magnificent setting (Passy - Haut-Giffre nature reserve). Depending on the season in which you do this hike, take into account the crossing of several snowfields (very late in 2013) and numerous streams that "cut" the path.
From Lignon to Refuge Alfred Wills and descent via Refuge des Fonds
This route presents no difficulties other than the distance and elevation gain, and can be completed in one go by well-trained hikers.
The route is fully signposted and can be completed in its entirety by following the directions on the signs and markings (a little more difficult when the "high" part is snow-covered, as it was during our last hike :-) ).
Pointe de Sales
A magnificent ascent via the Sales Refuge.
After passing close to the Pleureuse, Sauffaz, Sales and Trainant waterfalls, the Sales valley offers us bucolic landscapes that contrast with the harshness of the surrounding peaks. It's like being in a Snow White cartoon... or, more to my taste, Shrek.
The rest of the route, no less remarkable, will lead us to a breathtaking panorama...
From Le Lignon to the Alfred Wills Refuge via the small pass of Anterne
Beautiful climbs and pretty waterfalls, with panoramic views over the Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval valley.
Tour des Fiz in 4 days
A superb four-day hike, with lakes, waterfalls, ladders, ibex, marmots and magnificent panoramic views, particularly of Mont Blanc, located 15 km away.
Col de la Portette and Passage du Dérochoir via the Chalets de Sales
A very beautiful, long hike from which you can admire various magnificent waterfalls, the Plaine du Grand Pré, the Fiz, the Lacs de Laouchets, the Désert de Platé, and the Mont Blanc range from the Dérochoir.
A long hike with no technical difficulties or exposed sections.
