Discover an exquisite hike featuring diverse landscapes. Brace yourself for a steep ascent! However, the stunning vistas along the way will reward your efforts, especially as you traverse the picturesque village of Corbel and its historic church, the oldest in the Entremonts. Notably, the church boasts magnificent stained-glass windows by the contemporary sacred-art painter ARCABAS. Recently, ARCABAS designed a new door for the church. In the summertime, Pompon welcomes you to its splendid panoramic terrace. After a well-deserved rest, your journey continues, eventually leading you to Saint Pierre d'Entremont, passing through the charming hamlet of Les Gants. Along the winding road, you'll catch glimpses of the opposite Frou Gorges road and its cliffs, with the Guiers Vif river flowing in the background.
