The village sawn form the tourist office

Nothing past 11 pm here except some little restaurants during Touristic season, but never forget foot crossing this village while a beautiful snowing night

Walking back to Colombaz

Favorite thing: This village is a great place to find quietness (the last one when crossing this small valley) and to discover the northern Alps environment.

Avoid holidays periods to feel the deepest soul of this place which is one of the most preserved.

Take all the path, smell all of the fragrances, see all of these pictures to bring back home with you, and hear ! There are so much pretty things to hear in such a silence !

Fondest memory: First snowfalls are the most beautiful moment here, and some of the inhabitants are themselves awaiting these moments.

You could easily meet some of them on this path
