La Vilette is the highest hamlet in the commune of Vaujany. Between the houses and the chairlift, there are delightful trails, the pretty Flumet stream, and superb viewpoints, notably of the Fare waterfall in the distance.

Shortly before the Fare waterfall, the view of the Vaujany resort nestled in the middle of the Grandes Rousses massif is superb.

The Fare waterfall, nestled in the Grandes Rousses massif, is a breathtaking natural spectacle. This imposing waterfall cascades down the rock faces, creating a refreshing and soothing spectacle for visitors.
