Vallon de l'Ormente

Highlight • Gorge

As you walk through the hollow of the Ormente valley, the mountains come together in a romantic picture. Between winding tracks, turbulent rivers and isolated chalets, the mountain atmosphere is preserved here.

At the end of the valley, you can climb to the top of the Aiguille de la Nova (2,893 meters) or reach the Balme refuge (2,009 meters).
