Nestled between the Rochers de Leschaux and the Bargy range, the Cenise Plateau is easily accessible from Mont-Saxonnex. Breathtaking landscapes and panoramas!The sectors of Cenise - Les Combes are rich in wetlands of heritage interest and include important wintering areas for black grouse, which take refuge there in winter to find the necessary rest during this period of slow activity . To limit the disturbance of these species in winter, be sure to stay in the already existing tracks and not to deviate from the main routes. In order to guarantee the sustainability of the environments and species, which are very sensitive to disturbance and most of which are protected, but also in order to respect the work of the alpagists, it is our responsibility to be attentive to our practices and our behavior.
