Croix du Planet - Hiking Trail

Discover the Croix du Planet hiking trail, starting from the restaurant Le Refuge. This challenging hike is suitable for experienced hikers (red level—difficult). Once you reach the summit, an exceptional panoramic view of the valley and Mont Blanc awaits you. This hike also welcomes your four-legged friends (on a leash) and is the perfect opportunity to share special moments together in the great outdoors. Once at the summit, you can continue the hike along the ridge toward the Petit Pâtre hut, where picnic tables will allow you to take a well-deserved break. Note: If you’re hiking to the summit of Le Planet from Le Chanté, two trails are available at the top: the trail on the right requires climbing over rocks, while the trail on the left is a bit steeper and leads to the base of the cross. A map is available at the tourist office to help you explore this trail and other routes. No matter which hike you choose, be sure to pack cereal bars, plenty of water, sunglasses, sunscreen, a small first-aid kit, and clothing appropriate for your outing based on the season and the forecast. This route can also be done with a guide by hiring a private mountain guide.
