On a hike through the Val Ferret, you measure the various altitudes, landscape types and types of use of the alpine cultural landscape, from Issert (around 1,000 meters) to Ferret (around 1,700 meters), from the low-lying meadows to the debris cones of the glaciers. Last farms and numerous holiday homes are scattered in an initially idyllic setting, which the higher you climb, the wilder landscape it becomes.

Val Ferret on the Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) is a slice of alpine paradise that enchants hikers with its awe-inspiring beauty and tranquil landscapes. 🏞️🏔️

Located on the Italian side of the TMB, Val Ferret offers panoramic views of towering peaks, lush meadows, and charming hamlets. As you traverse the valley, the iconic Mont Blanc massif dominates the skyline, creating a dramatic backdrop for your journey.

The charming villages that dot Val Ferret, such as La Fouly and Issert, provide opportunities to rest, enjoy local cuisine, and interact with the warm-hearted residents. It's a chance to experience the rich culture and hospitality of the region. 🌄🚶‍♀️🌼
