Description

From the Munes mountain pasture, the view of the Praz de Lys plateau, the surrounding mountains, and Mont Blanc is breathtaking.

A wild and quiet valley, far from any human activity! A paradise for wildlife watchers... The most patient visitors may spot some mouflons on Pointe d'Uble.
