Offer the children this shortened version of Chemin des Gardes. As a

Catching sight of the Rocher des Sarrazins may well inspire an urge for
rock-climbing and vertical adventures...

Description

What could be more relaxing than a nap on a giant sundeck? Dying for a snack? Then take a seat at this banquet table, randomly on the Chemin du Petit Bonheur. The next part of your hike is sure to thrill even the most daring adventurers. The Val Cenis guide office can provide you with proper instruction to work on your rock-climbing skills in complete safety. It's time to head back to Val Cenis Lanslevillard. In the intimacy of the Drayes d'en Haut stream, the water murmurs playfully among the mosses. Easy to cross in a couple of strides, the stream's a source of freshness. Let's go down to the village!
