● TREKKING AROUND THE FIZ MASSIF
Europa - France

In front of the Mont Blanc Massif and just behind the Aiguilles Rouges, the Fiz Massif is one of those jewels of the nature that a few people know. It’s placed in the Passy Natural Reserve, it dominates the middle part of the Arve valley, and around this massif you can discover beautiful geological and botanic sites, as well as lakes and waterfalls with wonderful colors. Just a real natural paradise that is waiting for you.
