Discovering the animals at the Gilliarey Oratory | LINK

By getting to know the places, habits and behaviour of the different animals, the chances of meeting them are greatly increased. In particular, one should take advantage of the early morning and evening hours, the beginning of the spring and autumn seasons, for example at Gilliarey.

Visual contact with the animals living in the different habitats of Torgnon is a special event that opens a fascinating window on the animal world, allowing one to discover their behaviour and habits. Observation is not an event that can be predicted with absolute certainty, which makes it unique.

Happy biking at Col des Bornes | LINK

This is a mainly downhill route, starting from Plan Prorion (car parks).

The Torgnon area is characterised by a system of paths that allow access to forests and high-altitude pastures, and which makes it possible to ride most of the area to the north of the resort in complete safety.

Night-time adventures in the Saint-Pantaléon forest / Col des Bornes | LINK

Evening or night walk in the forest starting from the Col de Saint-Pantaléon (car park) to the Col des Bornes, with visual, sound and environmental experiences.

We are not used to moving around in the dark, especially in a natural environment: we can therefore activate different sensory channels, amplified by the presence of the stimuli offered by night-time environments in the mountains. Accompanied by a guide, it will be possible to rediscover nature in a new way, as well as one's own senses.

Visit the Petit-Monde Museum, by bike or on foot | LINK

Starting from the tourist office in Place Frutaz, you can go to the Petit-Monde on foot (1h30), by bike (40 minutes) or even by your own means (small car park).

A visit to the Musée Petit Monde is a journey through time to discover a distant, fascinating world. It is the discovery of the memory and memories of our community that starts with the three main structures: the 'raccard', the 'grandze' and the 'grenier'.

They are constructions that have remained protected over time, hidden in a 'little world' of their own that guards the secrets of the past, when this corner of the mountain was an important passage to Switzerland.

Relive the mountain as it once was, rediscover it alive and vibrant. Enjoy a secret and unchanged landscape. This and much more awaits you in our Petit Monde.
