ON THE ROAD AGAIN TO VALLANDRY!

The top of the Vallandry cable car is also the starting point for one of the most popular DH runs in the area: "The Woodstock"! Ideal for those who want to improve their technique or simply discover new sensations. This itinerary allows you to reach the resort of Arc 1800 by a pleasant path in the forest.

For the experts who want to push their limits, the Enduro itinerary "Elle Chablatte" allows you to descend to the valley.

After a contemplative break on the panoramic terrace, you can follow the various trails from the Vallandry summit: the Col d'Entreporte, the Vernettes trail or even reach the Arc 1800 resort.

Something for the whole family to enjoy!

The Stone Guardian trail

Starting from the Vallandry terrace, follow in the footsteps of an ancient civilisation along a trail dotted with sculptures, engravings and remains. This experience combines science and mystery and invites you to explore the geological history of the site before extending your discovery in the Galerie des Minéraux.
