Description

Fun route of about twenty minutes near the Jaillet gondola.
Let yourself be guided towards this artificial water reservoir... Water, an essential element for producing artificial snow, constitutes a true mirror of the Mont-Blanc massif...
Facing the French Alps, you can relax, play, grill...

A few explanations on pastoralism and snowmaking along the route explain life in our mountain pastures and how the snow production system works.
For the little ones, a game of Goose and Heads with Holes allows them to discover mountain professions and the winter face of the Portes du Mont-Blanc ski area in a fun way.
Peckish? An electric plancha with free access from 10:00 a.m. to 20:00 p.m. Download the Cooxy application on your smartphone, connect via Bluetooth to the plancha and off you go for 45 minutes of heating (automatic cut-off if you move too far away). Plan to clean with water and a cloth after use (no chemicals).

Walk around, listen, breathe, in short… enjoy the mountain and the view
