The path passes through the villages on the Versant du Soleil and their hillsides, also the midway stage for the herds of cows on their way up to the Alpine pastures. You will enjoy the traditional architecture of the houses with the first two floors made of stone and the top floor made just of wood where hay would be dried for the animals.
