The Abray trail

This easy forest walk starts in the center of the village of La Chapelle d'Abondance, near the little chapel of Notre Dame de la Compassion.

You'll start by climbing the Chevenne road, where you can make a short stop at the fallow deer park.

Then head towards La Plagne for around 800 m to reach a small forest path.

This forest is rich in vegetation, with a wide variety of trees, including spruce, fir, beech, mountain ash, ash and maple...

When you reach a scree slope, the landscape offers magnificent views of Mont de Grange, Châtel and the Dents du Midi.

You'll then reach Chevenne, where the mountain setting of its alpine pastures is superb, with the south face of the Cornettes de Bise, its alpine chalets and stream.

A "snack" break will be most welcome!

You'll also be able to observe many varieties of flowers from different environments, such as the red cephalanther, which lives near scree slopes, or the marsh buttercup, nestling on the banks of streams.

The descent to the village is via a path along the stream. A fitness trail offers stretching and agility exercises. The descent is then via the small asphalt road following the Chevenne stream.
