Description

A pleasant hike in the middle of a calm and wild nature. Located on the Aravis chain, Les alpages de Mont-Ferront is in an area
natural (ZNIEFF): we can therefore see a great diversity of birds in this sector.

From Chéron to Creux de Varny: 45 minutes From the chapel, take the asphalt road on the left. Go up to the last house, and at the end of the road, take the path on your left that goes up into the forest. Then, follow the white and red markings of the GR 96. At the first intersection, turn right. After about 30 minutes of climbing, you will reach a parking lot, the Creux de Varny. From Creux de Varny to Mont-Ferront: 35 minutes Behind the explanatory panel, go up the “monotrace” path which climbs into the forest. Cross the forest road and take the path opposite. After about 30 minutes of walking, you will reach the mountain pasture. The Notre-Dame des Chalets chapel in the Mont-Ferront mountain pasture is in reality an oratory, erected in 1954. Continue on the path to gain some height and admire the panorama. From Mont-Ferront to Chéron: 50 minutes Return by the same route.
