Description

Right in the heart of the Valserine valley, you'll be amazed by the diversity of landscapes this route offers, in an authentic and wild atmosphere.

The hamlets you pass through offer picture-postcard scenery and remarkable viewpoints.

The Thomas mill was commissioned in the 18th century.
Its millstones transformed into flour the cereals grown around the hamlets of Noirecombe, Rosset and La Rivière, and the many isolated houses scattered along the valley slopes. The old footbridge was swept away by exceptional floods in 1910.
