Thematic trails
Informative walks guided with a leaflet that learn more about fauna, flora, geology and pasture.

Rambles on a theme 
Set off on the lookout for tracks, a movement or a bolting from the undergrowth, just around the next corner. The "Blanchot", the Chamois and the Marmot will be there to celebrate the sunset with you.

A ski lift is in operation for walkers and mountain bikers.
