Tour of the Aiguilles d'Arves - Albiez-le-Jeune / Chalet d'la Croë
Chef-lieu

This route, starting from the village of Albiez-le-Jeune, is the first stage of the Tour du Pays des Aiguilles d'Arves.
You'll soon leave the narrow streets of Albiez-le-Jeune to discover a route through meadows and forests that leads to the Moine de Champlan, a bizarre fairy chimney with a coiffed head.
Your path then alternates between departmental road, hamlet and stream crossing before arriving at the Chef-lieu of the pretty village of Albiez-Montrond.
Here, you'll find restaurants and grocery stores.
Once you've reached the Col du Mollard, you'll arrive on the Plateau de Montrond at the end of the day, where you can admire the sunset from the terrace of the cosy Chalet d'la Croë.
We advise you to book accommodation well in advance, given its small capacity.
Recommended equipment :
- Mountain boots suitable for walking on varied terrain (rigid soles)
- Rain gear
- Warm clothing
- Pair of telescopic poles
- Cash (CB terminals not always available in refuges)
