Liste des étapes :
1 - Eaux-Rousses - Rhêmes-Notre-Dame : étape la plus longue avec une petite difficulté lors de la descente depuis le col d'Entrelor
2 - Rhêmes-Notre-Dame - Rifugio Benevolo : étape facile permettant de laisser ses affaires eu refuge et faire une boucle jusqu'au lac de Tsanteleina
3 - Rifugio Benevolo - Rifugio Savoia : étape de difficulté moyenne, avec une longue montée au Col Rosset et une descente sublime parmi les lacs Nivolet
4 - Rifugio Savoia - Eaux-Rousses : étape facile face au Gran Paradiso
Boucle Parc Gran Paradiso
Cette boucle de 4 jours peut être effectuée dans un sens ou un autre. On peut partir à choix depuis les étapes d'Eaux-Rousses, Rhêmes-Notre-Dame ou Rifugio Savoia. On peut accéder à ces trois endroits en voiture (avec parking sur place) ou en bus depuis Aosta ou Ivrea.
On peut aussi effectuer cette boucle en 3 étapes, en passant directement du Rifugio Benevolo au Rifugio Savoia. Mais cela fera une étape plus longue et ne permettra pas de découvrir les superbes lacs au-dessus du Rifugio Benevolo.

Departure from Valsavarenche (Aosta Valley)
A long day lies ahead with the climb to the Col de Lauzon (3,299m). This is the highest point of the TDG. The descent from the pass is pure delight. It is possible to run downhill for 3–4 km to the Vittorio Sella Refuge. It is a large refuge with plenty of people. The descent to Valnontey is also long, but there are plenty of cafés to rest in.
Tour of Cima della Roley in the Aosta Valley

Departure from Valsavarenche (Aosta Valley)
A truly magnificent mountain route. Ascent, crossing the Col du Grand Small Pass, then descent. A fairly classic circuit where you are likely to see animals such as chamois and marmots. This circuit can be done in either direction, but the direction indicated allows you to enjoy impressive views on arrival at the Col du Grand Small Pass.

Facing the Grand Paradis, these two mountain pastures, now abandoned, offer a beautiful view of the glacier and the summit of this particularly popular mountain.

Departure from Valsavarenche (Aosta Valley)
A visit to the Victor Emmanuel Refuge, which, like its neighbour the Chabod Refuge, can be considered the base camp for the summit of Gran Paradiso, located in the province of Aosta in northern Italy. A steep but short climb that ends between the refuge and Lake Moncorvé.

A short day as the next day takes you into the Gran Paradiso National Park, where camping is prohibited; I had to cut the stage short, otherwise it would have had to be extended unreasonably. The Hostellerie du Gran Paradis is the only place to stay overnight. The food is great, but be warned: at weekends there are often Italians, French people, etc. out mountain biking.
