    A hike offering panoramic views of the entire Abondance valley and the Swiss peaks.

    From the Sevan parking lot (1,590 m), the hike begins with a forest path leading to the chalet du Mouet. You’ll then follow a long path on the balcony of the valley, with a superb panorama of Mont de Grange. You’re on the Portes du Soleil walking tour.
