Starting from the village of Aiguebelette, begin your journey through time.

First, a small road climbs towards the Épine mountain. As it turns into a stone-paved path, you step into another era. Your steps will then lead you onto the ancient Roman road.

You now have real stone slabs under your feet all the way to the Col du Crucifix. This Sardinian route was developed by the House of Savoy in the 18th century.

Then, you pass through the Col Saint-Michel. You won’t be the first, as it was the obligatory passage for travelers from Antiquity until the 17th century. It was watched over by a temple, which later became a chapel.

Even François The First passed through here. It is said that, surprised by a storm, he took refuge in the cave that bears his name below. If the thunder rumbles, you’ll know where to hide!

Once back down in Aiguebelette, go for a swim in the lake: it’s a pleasant way to dive back into our century!
