PONT DE NANT

The Nant valley is a valley in the Vaud Alps located above Les Plans-sur-Bex in Switzerland.

It is home to the Muveran nature reserve since November 29, 19691. The Nant valley is a reserve managed by Pro Natura Vaud at the cantonal level and is part of the federal free district of Grand Muveran at the federal level.

The valley is 6 km long and extends from Pont de Nant in the opposite direction to the source of the Avançon de Nant below the Dents de Morcles. The southeast ridge line of the valley delimits the northern Alps from the more continental internal Alps (Valais). The Grand Muveran, dominating Pont de Nant and the beginning of the valley by about 1800 m, then the Petit Muveran, the Dent Favre, the Pointe d’Aufalle, the Tête Noire and finally the Dents de Morcles mark this ridge line. The western ridge line extending from Pont de Nant to the Dents de Morcles delimits the valley of Plans-sur-Bex between Pont de Nant and the Pointe des Savolaires, then the Euzanne valley (Col des Pauvres) to the Pointe de Pré Fleuri, then the Javerne valley (Col des Perris Blancs) to the Pointe des Martinets, and finally the Rhone valley (Col des Martinets) to the Dents de Morcles (source : wikipedia)
