Jorasse – la Seya – Jorasse

Take the Jorasse chairlift up to the starting point of this adventure, with the majestic Muverans and Dent Favre in the background.

A winding path guides you through the larch trees towards Petit Pré d'Euloi. The slope becomes steeper as the varied and abundant flora accompanies you to the imposing Croix de la Seya, the highest point of this hike at 2,182 metres. At your feet, Ovronnaz stretches out, followed by Leytron and the Rhône valley below. A breathtaking 360-degree panorama unfolds, revealing thirty-five peaks over 4,000 metres in height, from the Finsteraarhorn to the sparkling Mont-Blanc under its blanket of snow. Get your binoculars and cameras ready to capture this remarkable view! This short loop will then take you back to Jorasse along the same route.

The Tour de la Seya follows the charming "Mille Fleurs" botanical trail. With five educational books, identification panels and an interactive quiz, you can observe and recognise a sub-alpine flora rich in over 200 species, including the Alpine gentian and the narcissus-flowered anemone.

At the summit of La Seya stands the iron cross "À Camille", donated by the parish. Measuring 8 metres high and weighing 1,640 kg, it is a veritable icon.
