The unusual closeness of these numerous animals is surprising and almost makes you forget how wild they are. You’ll find ibex, sika deer, llamas, mouflons, marmots, chamois and fallow deer.
There are also picnic tables and a bar-restaurant. Shuttles run from 8 July to 30 August, departing from Chamonix SNCF station.
