La Culaz

Highlight • Viewpoint

Located at an altitude of 1,434 meters, the mountain of Bange dominates the villages of Cusy, Allèves and Arith. From there, we have a beautiful view of the Mont Revard chain.

This magnificent part joins the summit of La Culaz. The perspectives of the landscapes in the middle of these mountain pastures are truly unique. In the middle of summer, it can be very hot in this part.

Creux de Lachat Refuge

Highlight • Pub

It's a really nice refuge, in the heart of the hollow of Lachat mountain pasture. You can eat there during the day and spend the night there (reservation required). From the terrace, you have a view of Mont Blanc and Tournette. Quite a nice panorama!

Prérouge Cave

Highlight • Other

A stone's throw from the Chéran, the Grotte de Prérouge is an incredible site, even if it seems rather unimpressive at first glance. The entrance to the cave is discreet, but it gives access to one of the most important underground networks in Savoy: 55 kilometers of galleries that extend to the foot of Mount Revard. It is a paradise for speleologists, who regularly roam these limestone depths! Be careful, if you find yourself in the area during periods of heavy rains, you should know that the water can quickly rise in the cave, to the point of drowning certain passages. It is therefore not recommended to venture into the cave.
