In an exceptional landscape, in the heart of the Aravis massif, the Plateau des Confins offers numerous hiking possibilities. Come and discover this unmissable site with a donkey or pony, a wonderful walking companion, who will carry the little ones and motivate the others. Whether with the family, for budding hikers or for experienced walkers, we offer different routes through this authentic natural heritage.

Reception
We recommend bringing light rain gear and proper hiking shoes that you have walked in before. Don't forget hats and sunscreen. A small emergency pharmacy (antiseptic, dressings, aspirin or doliprane for children, etc.) is always practical. Finally, think of water, something to snack on or a picnic.
Your dogs are welcome, but they must be on a leash and must not come close to animals. (It is best to have another person keep the dog on a leash at a distance.)
