Follow the Roche-Pallud municipal road through the heart of the Ima Forest, which is filled with pines, firs, and spruces, and turn left onto the forest trail toward Pertuiset. The route passes at the base of the paragliding launch sites.
1/ After enjoying a stunning view of Mont Blanc and the Pic de Marcelly in front of the Pertuiset chalets, head down toward Roche-Pallud.
2/ In Roche-Pallud, just a few steps from the road, head to the cross located on a promontory.
3/ From there, a spectacular view opens up over the Bornes Massif, the Aravis Range, the Bargy, Cenise, and the Môle... You’ll also discover the Sommand peat bog at the foot of the Résidences before leaving the plateau.
