Parcours d'Auta Chia
Overview
Intro

Description
In this valley of the Javro, the Chartreux monks of the Valsainte have found their source of life and a haven of peace. The trail starts near the imposing Valsainte enclosure. It will take you to the high ground in about 3h. Who wants to shorten this part can also start at the Plan car park, 2 km after the enclosure.
The route takes you to several mountain pasture chalets, part of the Fribourg cultural heritage: the Féguelenets pasture and its large chalet, followed by a route through the Guisolanda forest, in a calm and magical environment. An impregnable panorama awaits you: Moléson, Dent de Broc, Gros Brun, Vounetse and Berra. Once you reach the pass, you will discover the Auta Chia mountain hut, from where you can also reach La Berra by a pretty ridge to the West, or to the East Schwarzsee via La Patta and Le Fuchses Schwyberg.
The return is mainly between clearings and forests, to get to Les Echelettes by the forest road. Allow about 3 hours for the descent to La Valsaonte (about 2h 15 to the car park Les Plans) . The Auta Chia itinerary can be done in both directions.
An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
