Hiking
The Col des Chavannes, at almost 2,600 meters above sea level, offers a spectacular view of the majestic Mont Blanc massif and the upper Val Veny. It can be reached via a long but easy walk from the Vallone of the same name on the La Thuile side (also perfect for bicycles) or even from Val Veny via a slightly steeper but still accessible path.

Great mountain pass to climb in winter, it's quite steep but short and doable!
