TO SEE :
The orientation panel on Le Gâteau giving a 360° display of the peaks in the Mont-Blanc range of mountains and the Chaîne des Aravis.
INTERESTING FACT :
La Pierra Menta, which is easily recognisable because it divides the Beaufortain mountain range, is said to have been kicked there from afar by the mythical giant Gargantua when he stepped over the Aravis mountain range. The Pierra Menta mirrors the space in the rocks at the Col des Aravis.
