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.
