Starting from the large parking lot in Sommand or at Les Résidences, this easy loop hike offers a chance to explore the peat bog, a preserved natural gem.
Leave the hustle and bustle of the resort behind and look around, listen...
The Sommand peat bog: It is the most beautiful and biologically diverse in the region—and indeed in the entire French Alps! Its ecological significance and rich flora have attracted many botanists. At this time of year, when the bog is covered in a blanket of snow, take a moment to admire the vegetation—especially the pine trees. Please respect this pristine natural environment!
The trail is marked by orange stakes along the edge of the path. This is Pedestrian Trail No. 6.
