Description

Take the Roc d'Enfer gondola up to the Graydon mountain pasture and chapel. You'll then travel through peaceful surroundings, past gentian trees and grazing cows, against a backdrop of Mont Blanc...

The Alpage de Graydon lies at the foot of the majestic Roc d'Enfer, with cows and goats grazing peacefully on the rich grass around the small chapel surrounded by a magnificent combe.
