サンニコララシャペルの天然記念物・トップ7

This must-see is misplaced. It's the fly hole and it's not in this place

We were there at the end of September 2024, and there was already a lot of snow. Be sure to check the weather conditions beforehand. The snow made the hike significantly more challenging. Many people weren't well prepared.

No arch at this location

Superb rocky hole at the top of the mountain. Difficult to access (bike on your back) on the way up and 150m unrideable at the start of the descent on either side. Prefer to go up via Grand Crêt and go down via Paccaly. Very technical, steep and exposed trail. Reserved for excellent descenders.

As you climb the challenging trail to the top of Tête du Danay, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Once you reach the top, you’ll come across the iconic Croix du Danay, an imposing cross that marks the highest point in the region. From this vantage point, you can admire the picturesque villages, winding rivers and lush forests that characterize the landscape.

very rewarding trail, mostly on the open space and with lots of long distance views, including M.Blanc

After a nice climb, we find ourselves straddling two very different valleys under this natural limestone arch, all in all impressive.
