Highlight • Pub

An authentic alpine chalet, the Lachat refuge is a very welcoming place. It is 1,555 meters above sea level and faces Mont Blanc. A beautiful place to spend the night!

The Chard du Beurre culminates at 1,889 meters above sea level. It overlooks the Les Saisies ski resort. From the summit, there is a superb view of Mont Blanc and the Aravis range.

Covetan hiking trail

Highlight • Other

This pretty forest path is part of a themed route. Snowshoe route in winter, and on wetlands in summer, it crosses a set of peat bogs, part of which has been classified as a Regional Nature Reserve since 2013.

Beautiful family walk to discover the nature reserve of the Tourbières des Saisies through thematic paths, spread over 2 loops and a connecting path. Attention pedestrian path exclusively, and direction of the course to be respected.
