The incredible story of the ibex

Parking de l'Eglise Saint-Maurice (covoiturage), 74360 La Chapelle-d'Abondance
Long hunted for its impressive trophy, the ibex was saved from extinction in extremis by the Dukes of Savoy in the 19th century. Its preservation was also behind the creation of the world's first nature reserve.
Set off on a winter hike to discover this emblematic mountain animal, which no longer fears man. And if you're lucky, you'll get to see it too!

Easy hike with 150m ascent, suitable for anyone able to walk 2 hours.
Please bring winter hiking boots and weather-appropriate clothing. Snowshoes available if snow is forecast.
Please bring your own car to reach the starting point, carpooling is possible.
