Hiking to the Arpont refuge

Take a day-long adventure on the GR5. You'll be able to enjoy a wide range of flavors all the way to the Arpont refuge, which promises a breathtaking change of scenery at the foot of the Dôme de Chasseforêt.
The start at the Châtelard bridge is already full of surprises. What's this unusual letterbox that marks the start of the climb? Inside, the objects are just waiting to be put into your rucksack and found by the guardians.
After a 700 m climb through the forest, you're welcomed by wide-open spaces. The verdant mountain pastures are a delight for ibex and chamois, enjoying the cool summer mornings. When you arrive at the Mont, remember to look up. Here, away from prying eyes, eagles, griffon vultures, turkey vultures and bearded vultures rule the skies. You never know
if they're watching you as you soar majestically in the thermals?
In the distance, the sun is already reflecting on the Arpont refuge. The traverse isn't over yet, but the gourmet break looks promising...
