This hike will take you to the summit of Le Cuchon, the highest point in the village resort of Saint-Léger.

From the Libouze plateau, a fine ascent through the larch forest as far as the Cuchon orientation table, where a great view awaits you.

From the top of this peak, thousands of years look down on you: the creation of the mountain range several million years ago, the enormous glaciers of the quaternary and Napoleon Bonaparte’s journey through the region... Plenty to fire your imagination!
