Rando'bus is an original proposal for hiking in the Montagnes du Giffre thanks to the summer shuttle service. Use the destination's mobility network to hike for longer, without having to make the round trip.

Part of the route lies within the Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval / Passy Nature Reserve, and is therefore subject to regulations designed to protect natural environments, landscapes and species. Find out more before you go.
