The Grandes Platières Odyssey with a guide

Hiking in the Platé Desert sounds like an amazing experience! It’s a unique place, famous for its vast limestone pavements, among the largest in Europe. The presence of fauna, such as ibex, and the particular flora that adapts to this limestone environment, add to the magic of the place. The possibility of finding fossils, such as sharks’ teeth, testifies to the site’s fascinating geological history. And of course, the unspoilt panoramic view of the Mont Blanc mountain range is the ultimate reward after an exploration of this kind. For nature and mountain lovers, this is an adventure not to be missed, accompanied by a guide from the Maison de la Montagne.
