Starting from the Col du Mollard, join this motorized trail, which offers an easy, gentle route with views of the Aiguilles d'Arves, the Montrond plateau, Mont Emy and the Grande Chible.
At the end of the path, you'll come to the Praz oratory, where there's a magnificent unobstructed view of the surrounding area. The foundation stone of this beautiful oratory is dedicated to the memory of Father Louis Bellet, parish priest of Albiez-Montrond for some forty years.

Get a bit of height with a walk facing the Aiguilles d'Arves on the way up, and the village on the way back. This forest trail through the mountain pastures and coombs of Mont Emy is very pleasant and accessible to all.
