During this walk, our mountain guide, Antoine, will share his knowledge of this valley in contact with the Mont Blanc massif, at the foot of the Aiguille des Glaciers.
The valley is typically Alpine in terms of its altitude, flora and fauna.
It is also a key crossing point between Italy and France, thanks to the presence of the Col de la Seigne pass, and has a rich history thanks to its military past.
Life in the mountain pastures is very much alive, with herds of cows, goats and sheep.

On arrival at Les Chapieux at 10 am., departure for the 4-hour walk, with Antoine DEZE, "Les Balades du Colporteur" mountain guide.
