Enjoy this hike to immerse yourself in the wild beauty of the Flaine mountains, between magnificent landscapes and encounters with local flora and fauna.

The route starts at the top of the Aup de Véran gondola. You can reach it by taking the gondola or by beginning your ascent via the “La Montée des Lapiaz” route, which adds 586 m of elevation gain to the total climb.

The route is marked, and track maintenance is carried out by users. You will use sections of open ski runs—keep to the side and stay in single file. The descent is only permitted on open runs. The piste management reserves the right to partially or fully close the route for safety reasons.
