Les Essarts walking trail - CCHMV APN

A refreshing trail amidst forest and stream, with a historical backdrop. Take a delightful stroll to explore the charming old hamlet of Charmaix, interspersed with informative signposts that are well worth reading.

Description

Put the miles behind you at your leisure, and don't forget to regularly stop and drink. Conquer 380 metres of elevation as you plunge deep into the wonders and sounds of the forest. Take a break at Notre-Dame du Charmaix to add a spiritual touch to your snacktime. It looks like it's hanging off the cliff. Pause inside this surprising building to admire the decorations, paintings, and the striking black and white statue of a mother and child.
