the deep end with a light backpack and your taste buds ready for a treat!
Who knows what you'll bring back from your trip?

Description

With a determined step, you take the route du Lavoir, curious to discover what's hidden at the end of the forest. Suddenly, you're on the Maginot Line! Look to your right... what is this curious mute witness to the 2nd World War? A veritable little land submarine, with only a tiny rounded concrete section visible. Brought back to the present by the sound of the Charmaix torrent, you take the opportunity of your visit to the mountain pastures to sample the specialities made at the Lavoir cheese dairy. You'll soon learn everything there is to know about making Beaufort d'Alpages, tomme, raclette, sérac and fromage blanc! And since you've still got room in your rucksack, you're off on the hunt for delicacies. Your picnic suddenly looks like a high-altitude feast. But now it's time to head back and meet the hikers on the famous GR5 trail for which the valley is famous.
