This forest trail, with its slightly steeper slopes than the classic route, keeps you cool in summer. On arrival, you'll enjoy a magnificent view of the 2750m-high Pointe Percée.
Nestling in the heart of an imposing cirque of mountains dominated by the Pointe Percée, the highest peak in the Aravis range, the Doran mountain pasture offers you the chance to observe - from June to September - its ancestral agro-pastoral and cheese-making activities, where you can buy fresh cheese.
Trace the astonishing history of a chapel built by the scouts, and discover Alpine flora and fauna, including the astonishing Bearded Vulture, reintroduced here a few years ago.
The charming Doran refuge welcomes you for a drink, a blueberry tart or an overnight stay.
Whatever your hike, remember to pack cereal bars, plenty of water, sunglasses, sunscreen, a small first-aid kit, and the right clothing for your outing, depending on the season and weather forecast.
