Description

Starting from Le Chevran, you’ll hike along the trails through the forest, enjoying a magnificent view of the Arve Valley. After a steep climb, you’ll reach the Plateau d’Agy, before continuing on to Saint-Sigismond, a peaceful haven high in the mountains.
This first stage immerses you in nature with a gradual climb beneath the deciduous trees of Chevran. The reward: a breathtaking panoramic view of the Arve Valley. Continue on to the Plateau d’Agy, a vast alpine expanse perfect for hiking, where you can admire varied landscapes ranging from alpine meadows to forests. The day ends in the quiet, authentic village of Saint-Sigismond, at an elevation of 900 m. It’s the perfect place to recharge in the heart of nature.
