The Pointe d'Autigny hike with its three crosses is a round trip from the Le Sauvage car park.

To be done in half a day and almost entirely located in a natural area, you will reach the Pointe d'Autigny at an altitude of 1800 metres.

After crossing the Col de la Plagne, you will pass the magnificent chalets of Autigny, offering an unobstructed view of the Vallée d'Ubine, the Cornettes de Bise and Abondance.

It is in these mountain pastures, where the dairy cows graze, that Abondance cheese is produced.

You will then reach the Pointe d'Autigny and its three crosses from where you can admire Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc. There is also an orientation table.
