At the Chalet les Cerises, witness an explosion of colour in Spring

Under the last snow, a multitude of wild flowers are already appearing. And for all the skiers who prefer off-piste skiing, it is enough to take a little altitude to continue to practice ski touring, the snow cover of the massif is often sufficient until the end of May. For your safety, we advise you to go skiing with a mountain guide.

 

The long days allow you to put on your hiking boots and enjoy the mountain trails. You can start your hike or trail directly from the Savoyard hamlet of Cordon. A series of "balconies" will allow you to contemplate the Mont-Blanc massif during your walk. The more athletic will be able to discover the slopes of the Aiguilles rouges park and spend a night in a mountain refuge.
