A hike offering panoramic views of the entire Abondance valley and the Swiss peaks.
From the Sevan parking lot (1,590 m), the hike begins with a forest path leading to the chalet du Mouet. You'll then follow a long path on the balcony of the valley, with a superb panorama of Mont de Grange. You're on the Portes du Soleil walking tour.
You'll then make a return trip to the Pointe de Recon, where a panoramic view of the entire French and Swiss Chablais awaits you at the summit.
From there, you'll reach the Chalets du Mouet. In summer, you can take a gourmet break at this mountain pasture or buy Abondance cheese.
For the return journey, head for Le Douert, then take the pleasant forest path back to the starting point.
