      For hiking

      What a mythical hike! Make your way to Pernand-Vergelesses, and set off on an assault on the Colline de Corton. The Vierge de “Sous Frétille” awaits you for a superb view over the Burgundian rooftops of Pernand-Vergelesses. Continue to the top of the Colline de Corton to admire the roofs of Aloxe-Corton.
