Promeneurs seniors Karine Mandray ATD
This easy-going walk is accessible to all-comers, taking you to the heart of the Montrond plateau, in alpine pastures and amongst abandoned mountain chalets that were once inhabited during the summer months, at the foot of the Aiguilles d'Arves known as "the majestics".
From the Relais TV PRM parking lot (above the village of Chalmieu, a hamlet of Albiez), this walk offers breathtaking panoramic views of the majestic Aiguilles d'Arves, and invites you to discover the testimonies of local people.
Whether shepherds, farmers, mountaineers, guides or storytellers, they'll share their tales of yesterday and today, and above all their love of the plateau. In the midst of the remains of alpine chalets, sound benches and symbolic objects tell you all about this land of legends and oral tradition, with great sensitivity.
Disabled people and senior citizens with special needs are allowed to park in the second parking lot (access strictly reserved for these users).
