La Moliere walk
A short family-friendly walk of a couple of hours with a small altitude difference
This lovely walk is suitable for families, so everyone can enjoy the forest and meadow scenery.
Starting at the bottom of the Vallée Blanche chairlift, take the path on the right following the signs for La Moliere and La Kanata. This takes you through woodland until you emerge on a gravel track after about 400m. Follow this uphill for a few metres before taking the path on the right signposted La Moliere.
Keep following the path into the forest and you will end up at the La Moliere farm where you can visit and even try some local cheeses. There are several variations in this forest, so look out for the signposts and if in doubt take the lower path.
If you continue past the farm you will reach La Moliere restaurant in a few more minutes. There is a good viewpoint nearby if you follow signs to the ‘Table d’Orientation’.
To get back to resort, follow the same route.
