Saille tour
From the moment you reach the summit via the Jorasse chairlift, a dirt track guides you effortlessly to the Bougnonne stables. This mountain pasture, owned by Leytron, was managed independently until 1963. Today, it is the second most important alpine pasture after Odonne. The gently sloping route takes you to the banks of the Salentse, an inescapable river which, by turns discreet and impetuous, shapes the life of Leytron and Ovronnaz.
The old stables of Saille can be seen below, then the path continues to climb towards the Rambert hut, as far as the Pierre à Vatserou. Sitting on this imposing stone, the chief shepherd once kept watch over his flock.
Leaving this path, you take a magnificent path along the hillside, winding between rocky bars and scree at the foot of the Pointe d'Aufalle ridge. Larches, alders, bilberries and wooded pastures then guide you towards Larzay and Chavanne Neuve, where an old coach house once stood on the Bougnonne mountain pasture. Your tour ends at the top of the Jorasse chairlift.
