Pointe de la Galoppaz from Lindar

Aillon-le-Jeune Ouvert

This itinerary is a great way for families to discover a beautiful summit in the southern part of the Massif des Bauges. The Pointe de la Galoppaz rises skywards from the valley, but is easy to reach. At the summit, picnic in front of a 360° panorama!
