| Walking: This beautiful area provides unlimited walking
with June, July and August being the best months for viewing
the numerous Alpine flowers and also a chance to see the varied
wildlife, maybe a Golden Eagle or Chamois, which are native
to this area. The cable cars and chair lifts allow you to gain
height quickly. We can advise you on the best tracks and trails
to take. There are several good walks starting from La Reblais
and in particular the one to Mont Ouzon where you are rewarded
with a panoramic view of Lake Geneva to the north and Mont Blanc
southwards. It is quite spectacular. |
