The chalet itself is in a relatively unknown (and unspoilt) part of Savoie – on the mountain paths behind the chalet you will see wild flowers, mushrooms, deer, wild boar, small red/black squirrels, foxes, lizards and pine martens (the list is endless) which are testament to the local ecosystem. And of course domestic cows, sheep and chickens..
Periodically golden eagles grace the chalet - they are more regularly seen further up the Maurienne valley, along with the Lammergeiers.
For the more adventurous you can hike to the shepherd’s hut above the tree-line above the chalet, on the way to the summit of Le Grand Arc 2484m with its breath-taking views of Mont Blanc and across the Beaufortain and Vanoise massifs.
