Here, Baroque art invites you to awaken your senses, like an introduction to tasting all the flavors of the mountains... The rest awaits you in Grand-Naves with, on leaving the last groves, the crossing of the alpine lawns, like so many stages towards the escape which will transport you to more than 2000 meters of altitude to the Nant de Beurre refuge, then, at nightfall, up to the stars, which will be there to make you dream aloud….
