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.

Departure from Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval (Haute-Savoie)
A hike from Le Lignon to the Sales chalets. It crosses forest and mountain pasture landscapes. Following the Sales torrent, you can admire the various waterfalls along its course.
You will cross the Pas de Sales, a passage carved into the rock by farmers in the 19th century to bring their herds up to the mountain pastures. It is still used today.
In addition to the domestic animals that make up the herds found around the chalets of Sales, it is not uncommon to see marmots and ibex, even close to the trails.
This beautiful hike will delight your eyes.

Departure from Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval (Haute-Savoie)
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...

I invite you to tackle the Tour des Fiz, a route of considerable length with a significant elevation gain.Along the way, you’ll be treated to magnificent and varied scenery throughout this hike.Please note, you will encounter a difficult section during the ascent of the Passage du Dérochoir (6): the cliff face is fairly well-equipped but requires a degree of caution, particularly as it is quite exposed.
