Lac de Bissorte - Refuge du Mont Thabor
First beautiful stage of a challenging three-day tour of Mont Thabor. A beautiful stage with an elevation gain of almost 1,200 metres. Climb to the Bissorte dam, cross the Vallon des Marches, with a possible break at the refuge. Then climb to the beautiful Lac des Bataillères and the pass of the same name, with a superb view of the Lacs Sainte Marguerite and the Vallon de la Grande Montagne. Breathtaking view of the Cheval Blanc.
Mont Thabor Refuge - Terre Rouge Refuge
The central stage of the tour, with the ascent of Mount Thabor, the highest point of the tour and offering exceptional panoramic views. This stage requires good mountain walking skills, particularly for the descent into the Terre Rouge valley.
Refuge de Terre Rouge - Le Prec
This is the last stage of this three-day route, with one last beautiful climb. A final alpine pass, a few lakes, and the return via the Fenêtre du Prec to round off this lovely Tour du Thabor.
The tour and ascent of Mont Thabor
Three-day tour of Thabor, including the summit, starting from the Prec car park in Orelle. Three well-balanced days in terms of duration and elevation gain. Beautiful 360° panorama from the summit of Tabor.
The route is never technically difficult, but it is challenging due to the length of some stages, the altitude, and the orientation on certain passages where there are no trails.
