[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]This tour, starting from the village of B\u00e9rouze, offers a breathtaking view of the valley through the villages of Samo\u00ebns, Verchaix<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>and Morillon<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0The leisure base of the Lacs aux Dames allows you, moreover, to give yourself a little moment of relaxation<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>at the end of the walk to rest your feet in the grass at the edge of the water.<\/span>\u00a0Lasting 3.30 hours, it takes many historic paths lined with chapels and oratories, including that of the blind sculptor Fran\u00e7ois-Marie Girod dating from 1826.

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Between stacked paths and forest paths, the route<\/a><\/span><\/strong> taken offers a 3h20 hike through the village of Chantemerle and the Suets forest.<\/span>\u00a0The discovery of this village, once inhabited year-round, is also possible with a heritage guide<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>for a visit lasting about 2 hours.<\/span>\u00a0You can observe many farm buildings and the chapel dating from 1684 dedicated to Saint Francis de Sales.<\/span>\u00a0The sculpted stone windows, true testimony of the presence in Samo\u00ebns of Kegnes and Frahans (masons and stonemasons), will bring a historical dimension to this hike.<\/span>\u00a0At the starting point, located on the outskirts of the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, you will notice the big lime tree<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>surrounded by its margelle and a mass of flowers.

The Bostan refuge<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Located at 1763 metres above sea level, on the heights of Samo\u00ebns in the middle of the Bostan mountain pasture, this warm and friendly refuge<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>offers accommodation and food. This 3 hour and 15 minute hike, which starts from the Plan aux Arches car park, 800 metres after the village of<\/span><\/strong> Allamands<\/span><\/strong><\/a>,<\/span> <\/strong>will take you between the lapiaz on the Bostan valley, overlooked by the Dents d’Oddaz.

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Accessible from the Folly refuge<\/a>,<\/span><\/strong> this difficult hike requires certain equipment depending on the snow conditions (ice axes and crampons) and takes you to the Pointe de Bellegarde. In an alpine atmosphere and dominating the glacial basin of La Vogealle, the ascent offers a remarkable panorama of the Fer \u00e0 Cheval cirque by way of long scree slopes and n\u00e9v\u00e9s that can be dangerous in bad weather. Caution and knowledge of the mountain are required for an itinerary<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>that will delight the most athletic.<\/p>\n

The Fonts refuge and mountain pasture<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Accessible from the exit of the village of Salvagny or the hamlet of Fardelay, the refuge is in the heart of the Fonts mountain pasture. Bordered by black schist cliffs, it remains austere but is nonetheless a site that is both rugged, beautiful and attractive. The first access of this itinerary<\/a>,<\/span><\/strong> from the Fardelay, the most accessible, offers you both a forest path and a carriage road for a round trip of about 2 hours. The second, longer and more uneven, will take you on the carriage road from the village of Salvagny for a hike of about 3 hours 30 minutes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3405″ img_size=”1000×500″]

Pointe de Sales<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]The Pointe de Sales, the first summit of the Fiz range, seems inaccessible at first glance from the valley. However, as it is a real natural setting, you will be able to observe numerous chamois from the mountain pasture paths, scree slopes and lapiaz that you will take. From the Sales refuge<\/a>,<\/span><\/strong> accessible from Sixt Fer \u00e0 Cheval<\/a>,<\/strong><\/span> the unmarked itinerary<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>climbs under a succession of rocky outcrops before reaching a flat area from which the view of the Sales valley is particularly remarkable. When you reach the top of the Pointe de Sales, you are offered a most exceptional panorama, the Mont Blanc chain and its eternal snow.[\/vc_column_text]

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

On a mountain pasture path, this hike, one of the most famous in the valley but also one of the most beautiful, will lead you at an altitude of more than 2100 meters to the lake of Anterne. The itinerary can be done in one day with a departure from the Lignon via the Rouget waterfall but this hike can also be done in two days with a night at the Wills refuge<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>to be more accessible to everyone. After the refuge, the path, initially rather steep, flattens out between the lake of Anterne and the small pass of the same name to let you contemplate the formidable panorama offered to you on the cirque of the Fonts.<\/p>\n
