Saint-Jacques-des-Allemands

Highlight • Settlement

At almost 1,700 meters above sea level there is the characteristic village of Saint-Jacques (Saint-Jacques-des-Allemads is the full name).
The town is a little gem set at the end of the Ayas valley: the Walser-style houses sit on the slopes of the peaks of the Rosa massif.

Easy/medium route for the stretch up to the blue lake, however climbing to the crest of the moraine hill is more difficult (especially if you have eaten a lot).
