Hiking to Col Ratti

A out-and-back hike to Col Ratti, at the foot of the majestic and steep Roc d'Enfer, offering superb panoramic views of the Mont-Blanc chain, the Aravis peaks, the Dents du Midi and the Dents Blanches.

The path climbs up through the alpine pastures where Abondance cows graze, and with a bit of luck you can spot chamois frolicking on the foothills of Roc d'Enfer.
