From the summit, go back down to PLAN DESERT via Les Trois Coins, Le Col de la limace, La Limace, Le Bouza and Sous le Bouza.

TO SEE :
The Chalets du Bouza and De la Limace, both fine examples of the unspoilt architecture of these old farmhouses.

INTERESTING FACT :
The Col de la Basse Combe was where smugglers used to cross, transporting their contreband from Italy into France. The village of Notre Dame de Bellecombe was located in the free zone between 1860 and 1923. During this time, several customs officers were posted to the village in order to deal with any smuggling activity.
