Jorasse - la Seya - Jorasse
Enjoy the ride up the Jorasse chairlift, with the majestic Muverans and the Dent Favre as your backdrop, as you reach the starting point of this adventure.
A winding trail will guide you through the larches towards Petit Pré. The slope becomes steeper as the varied and abundant flora accompanies you all the way to the impressive Seya cross, the highest point of this hike at 2,182 meters above sea level. Below 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 meters, from the Finsteraarhorn to the sparkling Mont-Blanc covered in its blanket of snow. Prepare your binoculars and cameras to capture this remarkable view! This short loop will then lead you back to Jorasse along the same path.

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.
