Hautecour Arts Trail- "Les Éphémères Alpines" - Liberty loop

Unusual and unique, this family walk will take you on a journey of discovery through typical hamlets that bear witness to an ancient heritage.

Be amazed by the more than seventy works of art installed along the Les Éphémères Alpines trail.

These bold creations line the trail, paying tribute to the ephemeral beauty of nature.

At a bend in the trail, a rock shaped like a benevolent face welcomes you; a wooden sculpture evokes a mysterious animal...

This relatively easy artistic trail will surprise you with the creativity of local and international artists, who transform forests, clearings, and trails into an open-air museum.

Whether you are an art lover or simply seeking serenity, this walk promises unforgettable encounters between man and nature. So, put on your best shoes, bring your curiosity, and set off on a journey of discovery. Admire the beautiful chapels on the promontory and imagine the smell of warm bread coming out of the old oven, dip your hand into one of the many bachals where the water is as cold as it is pure.

Fancy a relaxing break or a gourmet treat? The lake with its welcoming, shaded surroundings will be your haven of peace. So why not treat yourself to lunch on the terrace at the Chalet de la Trappe... unless you'd prefer a picnic at one of the tables designed by artists.

And above all, come back... because the trail has been enriched with new creations every year for over 20 years, featuring works by artists from all over the world!
