On the path for Mont Fallère mountain hut to discover the open-air museum with Siro Viérin’s sculptures.

Description of the route

After leaving the car in the big shaded parking lot take path n.13, near the hotel.
Following the signs for the mountaint hut, cross the wood, turn right, on an easy and then on a slighty steeper route, crossing meadows and pastures, until below Alpe Thoules mountain pastures.
From here continue on the the flat grassy gravel road that crosses horizontally Méod stream valley until the entrance of Loé valley. While the path for the mountain hut goes up steeply, the path for Alpe Loé mountain pastures continues on the right.
Crossing the stream just below the Alp can be difficult in spring time.
