Situated in La Clusaz at the base Aravis chain of the Alps, the altitude ranges from 2753m of Pointe Percee in the east, to 2409m of Mont Charvin in the west. Walking or high altitude hiking are without doubt the best ways to explore this fabulous chain of mountains and experience the breathtaking panoramas.

Throughout the mountains and valleys there is a huge variety pre-marked walking trails in which take you through lush forests, green pastures and rocky mountainous terrain. These walks are graded according to length, which helps to plan your day-to-day itinerary, so you can walk as much or as little as you desire. We can also help you plan your routes by advising on their suitability, according to your ability and previous walking experience, as we have tackled many ourselves.

The famous 'Aravis-Tournette' and 'Belier' running/hiking trails are within 10 minutes walk of the chalet, providing a good route to start or end your day. Most of the major ski lifts also operate in the summer months which allow you to begin you walk at higher altitudes without any uphill struggle.

We can provide well-marked maps so you don't get lost! And information concerning the many local walking routes. Once you have decided which routes you would like to tackle, we can arrange a rendezvous time and point (if not on one of the summer bus route) to whisk you back to the chalet for a well deserved rest and refuel.

During the months of June to September, you will also find welcoming mountain refuges on some of the high altitude routes, which offer mainly regional home cooked dishes, and provide a perfect mid-way stopping point for a hearty lunch.

Some of the refuges also offer evening accommodation, so if you fancy something out of the ordinary and want to stay on the mountain and complete a two or more day hike, just let us know. These can be reserved in advance, so give us a few days notice and we will see what we can do to provide a truly unique experience for you on the mountain.

Some walks in brief

Throughout the spring, summer and autumn months we offer organised weekend walking tours for small groups and single travellers. You can choose to stay for a 3 or 4 night weekend, and join in the guided rides. Check out our latest organised walk dates
