Path of the guards by pradieu

Valfréjus

Sentier des Gardes
OT HMV
Description

Enjoy a complete change of scene near the Arrondaz chalets. The rocky outcrops dramatically contrast with the high-altitude vegetation that follows a short distance on. Led up to the mountain pastures for the summer, the herds enjoy the tranquility of the plateau. Their bleating only adds to the serenity of the moment.
You've got front row seats to admire the imposing Pointe des Sarrasins. If your eyes are sharp enough, you might be able to make out the valleys of Orgère and Polset on the opposite slope. The challenging descent takes you into the so-called "montane zone". Populated with conifers giving out that wonderful scent of resin, Belle Plinier forest will enchant you at every step. Before returning to the Valfréjus resort, take a well-deserved rest by the Charmaix torrent to cool off. This is the torrent that runs down to Fourneaux, 800 m below.
