An easy circular route that takes you round the south-eastern tip of the Île d’Yeu, passing by Plage des Vieilles, the end of the wild coast at Pointe des Corbeaux and the dune heathland, whilst crossing through the forest and a few small hamlets.

Circular walk starting from Pesiey-Nancroix, passing by the Vermettes Chapel, the Rossets mountain pasture and then the Palais de la Mine. After a steep climb, the route follows a balcony path before descending back into the valley, ending with a gently sloping track that leads to the Palais de la Mine and its information panels in the forest.

A lovely cross-border circular route starting from the Bujaruelo Valley, taking in varied landscapes and beautiful views over the Taillon and the Otal Valley. The route passes through woodland and over scree before passing two lakes after the Col des Tentes, then descends.

Explore the pretty Otal valley with several waterfalls and a river that winds its way along the entire route. The view opens up as you climb the Mont Perdu massif. This walk can be shortened by 6 km by starting from San Nicolás de Bujaruelo.

The final stage of the Tour du Posets starts from the Angel Orus refuge and leads to the car park in the Estos Valley. The first part of the day takes place over very stony terrain before moving into a more wooded area for the second half of the descent. The route offers further stunning views of the eastern slope of the Posets and of several lakes dotted along the way.

Day three of the Tour du Posets with a long day ahead: a long climb to reach the Collado de Eriste at an altitude of 2,862 metres before descending to the Angel Orus Refuge. Varied landscapes, starting with woodland before moving onto more open terrain that becomes increasingly rocky. The day ends with a section of boulders that makes you really appreciate arriving at the refuge!

The second day of the Tour du Posets begins with a steady climb along the GR®11 to reach the Col d’Estos. The second part of the day is a long descent leading to the Refuge de Viados. There are stunning views of the valleys, followed by views of the summit of Posets and its neighbouring peaks during the second part of the day.

A very scenic circular route with varied landscapes, taking you round the Posets Massif within the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park. A 4-day route starting from the bottom of the Benasque Valley, with 3 nights in mountain huts (Estos / Viados / Angel Orus). The last two stages feature significant elevation gain and rocky sections, making them longer than the first two.

The first day of the Tour des Posets, which offers a gentle start with a steady climb to the Estos Mountain Hut. Initially through woodland, partly alongside the Rio Estos, the path follows the GR®11 route and takes you close to the Gorgues Galantes (waterfalls) before reaching thefirst mountain hut on this tour.

A very beautiful walk with varied scenery and fairly accessible (between Aosta and the Great St Bernard Pass), offering three stages – two long and one short – with two nights in comfortable mountain huts. Once you’ve left the forest zone, the views of all the surrounding mountain ranges are magnificent.

The final day of the Tour du Mont Fallere. The first part of the day involves climbing to the Col Fenêtre, followed by a bonus ascent to the summit of Monte di Vertosan (3,821 m) for an exceptional 360° panorama (Mont Blanc – Grand Combin – Matterhorn – Gran Paradiso). This is followed by a long descent, with a fairly steep, winding first section, then a fast, rolling track through the forest to round off the circular tour.

The second stage of the Tour du Mont Fallere promises a day of stunning views. Once you’ve completed the climb up to the ridges, the path alternates between descents and ascents, offering panoramic views of the Matterhorn to begin with, followed by the entire Aosta Valley and the peaks along the border.

First day of the Tour du Mont Fallere. It’s a fairly quick day’s climb, mainly through woodland, to reach the Chaligne refuge. The route alternates between quiet forest tracks and some good, steeper sections of climb, with no technical difficulties.

A lovely circular loop starting from the summit of Transarc/Arcabulle, offering beautiful views, particularly of the Mont Blanc massif, the Dôme de la Sache and Mont Pourri. The loop begins with a steep but short climb to the summit of the Aiguille Grive, then descends towards the Col d’Entreporte and returns to the starting point through the mountain pastures.

A short circular walk starting from the summit of Transarc, offering a beautiful panoramic view and the chance to get closer to Mont Pourri and the Dôme de la Sache, passing by the Mont Pourri Refuge and the former Regaud Refuge, now converted into a small eco-museum.

The final day of the Tour de l’Archeboc features a long, beautiful climb to the Col du Rocher Blanc, followed by a descent on the French side back to our starting point at Chenal. Views of the Italian and then French glaciers throughout today’s route.

A four-day loop with three nights in mountain huts, starting from the Chenal car park in Sainte-Foy Tarentaise, between France and Italy via the Archeboc, Chalet de l’Épée and Mario Bezzi mountain huts. No technical difficulties on the route: the difficulty here depends solely on the distance and the elevation gain. Very few people along the entire route (completed in mid-August). Beautiful, varied views every day.

First stage of the Tour de l’Archeboc. The route runs mainly through the forest with lovely views of Mont Pourri right from the start, leading to the Refuge de l’Archeboc.

A day-long circular route taking you round the Truc de Tsanteleina and close to the foot of the Granta Parey, set in a rocky landscape that is home to Lake Tsanteleina, also known as Lago di Santa Elena.

The third stage of the Tour de l’Archeboc, between France and Italy. A day offering panoramic views of several French and Italian glaciers. Shorter in distance and elevation gain than the other days of the tour, but with a few slightly more technical sections (scree slopes).

The second stage of the Tour de l’Archeboc, which features the greatest elevation gain of the entire route. The day begins with a climb of around two hours to the Col du Mont, which offers a magnificent view of what lies ahead: a long descent on the Italian side to the bottom of the Valgrisenche, followed by a climb back up to the Refuge Chalet de l’Epée.
