Description

There are some parking spaces above the start of the Bettex cable car. The trail begins in the space between the ski school and the shops and passes over the ski lifts of the children's slope; then crosses a small
meadow before entering the forest. After about two hundred meters, a glimpse of the snow-capped peaks of the Mont Blanc chain appears. Yes, yes
he can rest for a moment to admire the landscape and who knows maybe, to try to recognize some main peaks. It is not uncommon to spot a herd of goats or some horses grazing in this pasture
quietly. The route continues, once again entering the forest before emerging again in a place called “Taguy”. Attention, in spring or after a heavy rain; this part of the trail can be extremely muddy. The return takes place on the same path.
