Forest Discovery Trail - Hiking Trail

A forest walk suitable for the whole family. Starting from the Les Plaines parking lot, this trail will take you on a journey through the life cycle of trees, beginning with a seed and growing into a forest. Along the way, you’ll learn about the animals that live there in a fun and engaging way. You can end the hike with a picnic at the Les Plaines picnic area, play at the playground, or relax on the daybeds. You can also extend the walk to the Avenaz chalets, where you’ll enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the Mont Blanc range. 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.
