Description

Throughout your journey along this sunny slope, you’ll discover the architectural heritage that makes the Abondance Valley so special. A breathtaking view of the Essert ski area and the Tavaneuse Mountains.
From the Lac des Plagnes parking lot, head down toward the Saint-Anne Chapel, then follow the road to the Saint-Guérin Chapel. Next, follow the trail that passes behind the houses and heads up toward the Tetagottay chalets. You’ll cross the bed of the “Cheneau de Grange” to reach Follebin. At the intersection, take the trail that climbs into the forest to reach the Oratory of Les Trables, then the Saint-Théodule Chapel. From there, head back down toward the Follebin farms and rejoin the path you took on the way up, this time heading toward Tetagottay. Head down toward Chez Les Rouges, cross the road, then join the trail that runs alongside the Malève stream, leading to Lake des Plagnes. Throughout this route, you’ll discover the architectural heritage—farms, chalets, oratories, and chapels—that makes the Abondance Valley so rich.
