Le Randonneur Masqué

This hike, which is not particularly difficult apart from its final section, is an extension of the Col de la Bailletaz hike starting from the Saut Dam. It will take you up to a 3,000-metre peak, accessible via the Grande Sassière Nature Reserve, before you reach a more high-mountain environment from the Col de la Bailletaz (2,852 m). I have therefore included the description of the first four points up to the Col de la Bailletaz. My addition concerns the route to the summit of the Pointe de la Bailletaz (3,071 m) via a more rugged path.

A very beautiful hike offering a chance to admire varied and magnificent scenery. From the picturesque Vallon du Ruitor, via Lac du Petit, to the Col du Tachuy on the border with Italy, with its magnificent panorama of the south-eastern face of the Mont Blanc range and the Italian valley of La Thuile towards Courmayeur.

A magnificent hike along the Neuvache river, which will take you to Lac des Glaciers in a magnificent alpine cirque dominated by Roche du Chardonnet, Pointe des Angelières, Mont Thabor and Pic du Thabor via Lac Vert, Lac Curtalès, Lac Rond, Lac Cornu, Lac Bri and an unnamed lake.The diversity of the environments, including forests, mountain pastures and mineral landscapes, is what makes this magnificent but demanding hike so interesting. It is aimed at experienced hikers who are used to long walks on varied terrain and are accustomed to navigating by map and visually, particularly between Lac Bri and Lac des Glaciers and at the start of the descent from the latter.Visorando app recommended.
