Hike to La Pointe-Percée Hut

A steady climb through the calm and cool forest, before reaching the mountain pastures to the sound of Abondance cows' bells. The atmosphere changes as the trail winds its way through a surprising mineral landscape of lapiaz, all the way to the refuge.

Alternative route for the return journey: from the refuge, head back towards Mont Pelé and turn right towards the Col de l'Oulettaz, then on to the Tête des Annes. Take the ridge path down to the Col de Borneronde, then the path through the woods leading to Plattuy and Les Troncs

From the Troncs car park, head up through the woods, following the signs for Plattuy and Le Planet. From the Planet mountain pasture, follow the path between the lapiaz formations to Mont Pelé and the Pointe Percée refuge. Return via the same route.
