Hiking - Tour du Mont Cuchet (small loop)
A magnificent hike with beautiful viewpoints upon arrival at Pointe du Cuche (1679m). With the help of two orientation tables, have fun identifying the surrounding peaks (Mont-Blanc and the peaks of the Vanoise...).
The trail starts at the parking lot of the Coche dam. This 'gem' of a trail features a viewpoint with a remarkable view of Mont-Blanc, La Grande Casse, Le Grand-Perron, and Le Niélard.
It's possible to slightly and easily extend the hike by passing through the viewpoints of Pierre de l'Aigle and Les Ravières, which offer magnificent views of the valley! (Pointe du Cuchet Trail - Large Loop)

You can park in the parking lot on the left before the Coche reservoir and follow the trail marked "Mont Cuchet".
At Plateau de Lachat (benches and picnic table, barbecue areas), it's the ideal spot for a break or a picnic.
Then cross the plateau and follow the signs to Mont Cuchet.
From this viewpoint, the view is incredible; with the help of the two interpretive panels, you can locate Mont-Blanc, La Grande Casse, Le Grand-Perron, and Le Niélard, among others.
Descend the previously taken trail and return towards the Coche reservoir to complete the loop.
