Hiking
In the heart of the village of Saint-Jacques-des-Allemands is the Cave Saint Jacques, a fascinating archaeological site that tells the ancient history of the Walser and their art of working soapstone.
A precious and little-known corner of history, perfect for those who love archaeology and the authentic roots of the mountain.
