Description of the route

From the arrival of the cable-way of Chamois, you will go further on the small road under the town hall, cross the whole village, cross the bridge and go on the right side on the classic flat walk direction La Magdeleine for about 1,5 km, here you will find an intersection of the two farm roads, in order to reach the Pilaz hill you will follow the left one through the wood. On the hill you will find some pic-nic tables. Don’t miss the “red big bench” for wonderful pictures with the Matterhorn behind you, the first in the Aosta Valley and the n° 125 of the Big Bench Community Project.
From here you can go further on for about 1100 m and reach the small alpine lake Charrey, about 1 hour (one-way and return - 173 m difference in height), the undergrowth is wonderful during the rhododendrons flowering period.
