Plateau de Retord

Highlight • Natural

The Retord plateau is a fantastic place for hiking or cycling. This was one of my highlights of the entire GTJ. A mix between wide open spaces and wooded areas! On a clear day, from the highest points of the plateau, you have a breathtaking view of Mont Blanc.
