Salvan/Les Marécottes

Salvan/Les Marécottes

To get to the vacation destination of Salvan, pass the 200-metre gorge at the beginning of the valley, through which leads a spectacular trail, to reach its sunny high plateau; Les Marécottes appears after a few more turns. The pools of Les Marécottes are set in a natural granite cauldron. Visit the alpine zoo to find wolves, foxes, lynx, black bears, wild boars, chamois and rare birds. The hiking and ski are of La Creusaz can easily be reached by cable car. The hike from the Forclaz Pass to the Trient Glacier on the northern side of the Mont Blanc Massif is especially popular in summer.
