From the green pastures of the Col des Annes to the rocky desert of the Combe des Verts, the Pointe Percée trail offers a varied hike full of surprises in the heart of the Aravis mountains.
Four themed stations on Earth sciences and a dozen windows opening onto the trail's surroundings punctuate the route. You will discover various aspects of the landscape: rocks, relief, vegetation, water, humans and their activities.
Enjoy a unique experience: you will develop a new perspective, capable of detecting the hidden aspects of the relief and landscape!
