Nestled beneath the imposing rocky barrier of the Grenier de Communes, the Praz de Commune are steeped in history and tradition. This adventure begins in the hamlet of Passy, which can be reached from the village of Salvagny.

From the top of the old ski lift, follow the carriage road that leads directly to the Mouillettes mountain pastures. Then you'll reach the Commune mountain pastures, and finally the final destination: Les Praz de Commune. For the more courageous, above Les Praz de Commune, a steep path leads to the Croix de La Frête, a formidable lookout point overlooking the Fer-à-Cheval cirque.
