Please note that this trail crosses a field where there are cows; please be respectful of this area and make sure to close the gate securely behind you. From the village of Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval, set out to explore the hamlet of Salvagny with its traditional architecture, from where you can see the Rouget Waterfall, also known as the “Queen of the Alps.” You’ll then head back down through the hamlet of Maison Neuve and follow the Giffre River to Molliet. On the way back, you’ll follow the stream to reach the village center, where you can admire the 12th-century abbey, a testament to the strong monastic presence in this glacial valley.
