Sentier du Lièvre aux Prioux - Loop walk

On this family hike starting in Les Prioux enjoy fantastic views of Chavière Valley and the seracs from the glacier capping Dôme des Nants.

Take the balcony path and enjoy the panoramic view of Les Prioux, the Chavière valley and the Dôme des Nants glacier bar. Estimated by local guides to be no more than 30 metres high by 2023, the bar of seracs (slices of ice corresponding to the fragmentation of the glacier) has lost more than 40 metres since the end of the 1980s. A major loss linked to climate change. On the opposite slope, look out for the "murgers", small dry-stone walls used to demarcate properties or areas of "arable" land. The stones are regularly collected after the winter months, after erosion phenomena such as rockfalls and avalanches.
