The path that leads to the Grand Ballon is absolutely essential. First for its destination, but above all for the variety of landscapes you cross: dense forests, ridge paths, balconies. Pure hiking as we like it!

Very nice, not too steep path through a beautiful beech forest and past scree slopes on the Grand Ballon.

A very nice part of the Grand Ballon. Ideal for a little rest with a view of the valley. Birds are also active.
