Plateau Saint Jean

Located at an elevation of 1,740 meters, Plateau Saint Jean features two prominent peaks: Mont Mounier to the north and Cluots summit to the south.

The Saint John the Baptist Chapel, constructed during the 19th century on the plateau, underwent restoration work throughout the 1990s to preserve its structure.

The plateau hosts an annual pilgrimage at the end of June, when local residents gather near the chapel for traditional livestock blessing ceremonies.

The hiking trail starts from Col de Sainte-Anne at 1,551 meters, following a small road toward Le Mounier building before turning right to Collet de Guérin.

The wooden shelter positioned below the chapel provides rest facilities for hikers at the final elevation point of 1,751 meters.
