Alpine sheepfold which sells excellent and inexpensive farmhouse cheeses (Reblochon, Tomme, Abondance, Chevrotin and Crottin de fromage). And you won't just come for the cheese because the panorama is magnificent!

Very nice view of the massif from Mount Blanc possible in good weather. The ascent is very worthwhile for this view alone. In addition, the lake was also a little refreshment for me.

A beautiful hike, not too difficult with a good landscape/effort ratio 👌 I left early to avoid the heat but got caught in the rain at the Aulp de Marlens 😅 so I gave up on climbing Mont Charvin, it's is a shame because in the end it didn't last, but I was too far into the Col des Porthets …
