    At the far end of the Le Fayet spa park, the Bains du Mont-Blanc offer a half-day in naturally hot thermal water: saunas, steam baths, indoor and outdoor pools at the foot of the Bonnant gorge. Open Monday to Saturday, with hours depending on the season.

  • The Le Fayet spa park

    Summer

    Around the spa, a forest crossed by the Bonnant: the waterfall and the Thermes footbridge, paths to other viewpoints, a treetop adventure park, a little train, and a technical, demanding via ferrata in the gorge.

  • Saint-Nicolas-de-Véroce and its Baroque church

    All year

    On a promontory above the Bonnant gorge, the Church of Saint-Nicolas, built in the first half of the 18th century thanks to emigrant pedlars, is known for its “Saint-Nicolas blue” and its five carved altarpieces. Free entry; the Musée des Colporteurs is next door.

  • Le Bettex and the Évasion Mont-Blanc ski area

In summer

In summer, the Tramway climbs to the Nid d'Aigle: for mountaineers, it is the start of the Voie Royale up Mont Blanc; for everyone else, a day in the high mountains in complete safety. The spa park, the Maison forte de Hautetour and Saint-Nicolas-de-Véroce round off the season.
