With its beautiful walking trails, the Val Ferret is also a stage of the celebrated Tour du Mont Blanc trek and the newer but equally stunning Tour du Saint Bernard.

A chalet village of modest size, La Fouly offers numerous forms of accommodation, including campsites, ‘l’aventure sur la paille’ (sleeping in the straw), hotels and rental of alpine chalets. A renowned mountain climbing centre, it is also a popular place for learning rock climbing skills, on artificial walls or cliff faces, and on the famous Dalle de l’Amône. A supermarket and local sports store sell all the equipment you’ll need.
From the high mountain pastures of the Val Ferret comes a fine, flavoursome cheese that adds an undeniable distinction to our fondues and raclettes. The educational trail of the shepherds – on an accessible mountain path - explains how the animals are raised and tended in the mountains.
Not to be missed on the trail: the mountain farmstead of La Peule, awarded the ‘Suisse Pure’ label in 2005 for its accommodation ‘sur la paille’ (in the straw), and the demonstration of traditional cheesemaking.
