  • A refreshing walk starting from Lac de Montriond, for young and old alike, to discover the listed site of the Cascade d'Ardent.

  • The pretty path alternates between clearings and woodland, passing through the charming hamlet of Les Albertans and its traditional old chalets. Admire the cliffs on your right, where several old galleries remain from which slate was extracted until the 1950s.

    - Choose your route according to your physical condition and the weather conditions.
    - Follow the instructions for signposting.
    - Take sufficient food and water with you. Mountain sports require a lot of energy.
