Fairy Chimneys
Presentation
In the heart of the Combe Génin, in Saint Jean d’Arves, the mountains reveal a stunning landscape. Curious, slender rock spires rise from the slopes, like small sculptures shaped by time.
Behind their unique silhouettes lies a fascinating geological phenomenon. In the Combe Génin, these rocky spires are carved from cargneules, ancient rocks dating back to the Triassic period. Over time, erosion has shaped these landforms and given them their distinctive shapes.
Where can you see them?
The fairy chimneys can be found in the Combe Génin and can be admired during the Mont Charvin hike or from the Route des Arves.
