Route description
Your journey begins in the forest, where the path rises gently before opening onto the vast expanses of the mountain pastures of the Coeur Valley.
Here, pastoralism comes to life before your eyes, in perfect harmony between nature and local culture. The trail then takes you to the ridge, to the Petit Pâtre hut where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Aravis range as well as the majestic Mont Blanc from the picnic tables provided.
You will then follow the direction of Tête Noire, to enjoy this panorama even more before going back down into the forest to reach Ambérieu and its farm, a point of interest in the village of Cordon. You will finish your walk sheltered by the trees on a path leading to the Cochenet car park.
