Embark on a journey through time! Discover the Désert de Platé through the Fossil Odyssey. As you ride the Grandes Platières gondola, let Némo and his assistant Juliette guide you through the story of this protected natural site and explain how marine fossils came to rest at an altitude of 2,500 metres.

Once at the summit, set off to explore this exceptional geological site by following one of two waymarked trails: the Fossil Odyssey (red trail) or the Odyssey with a View of Mont Blanc (green trail). Along the way, discover the fascinating limestone pavements (lapiaz) and admire the rich Alpine flora and fauna.
