Beautiful view towards Mount Bellacha and the Grand Arc.

Amazing views on mount blanc, lac d’ annecy and more beautiful landscape! 😍 Attention, only take the path across the ridge to the chalet de L’Alpettaz if you are a really experienced hiker and like to get some adrenaline. It is super narrow and partly really dangerous. After finishing the dangerous part there is high grass through which the hike continues.

Chalet under renovation but part of it nevertheless provides shelter.

Access is quite physical but you are largely rewarded by the sumptuous 360° landscapes once at the top 🤩

At 1,889 meters above sea level, the Col de la Bâthie is located in the heart of the mountain pastures. It separates the Pointe de la Grande Journe and the Légette du Grand Mont. If you embark on the Beaufortain tour off-site, you will have the pleasure of passing through it.

Col de la Bâthie is at the head of the valley above the hamlet of Le Planay, and visible from the village of Arêches. There's a cross and signpost here at 1,889 metres (6,198 ft). The main route of the 100-kilometre (62 mi) Tour du Beaufortain crosses here.

Refuge les Arolles stands in an elevated position with views down into the valley and up towards La Légette du Grand Mont. Open in July and August serving drinks, snacks and meals, you can also stay here if you book in advance. The Piapolay chairlift links the village of Le Planay to a platform just below the refuge. If you take this rather than running, you'll save 1.8 kilometres (1.1 mi) of distance and 675 metres (2,215 ft) of ascent.

It is a tricky short walk that takes longer than stated. We needed to scramble on parts of the ascent along a mountain ridge on the very thin trail, and the path was not always obvious on some of the ridge sections. The descent is also very steep towards the end, though thankfully this very steep section is fairly short. The lake was more of a quagmire when we walked it in early September. Not your usual crystal clear mountain lake and not particularly photogenic! Enjoyable, but for the length of the walk I would say it’s a harder intermediate.
