Chapelle de Bozelet (Bozel) walks

The Colorado chairlift in La Plagne operates during the summer. It provides access to the summit of the Grande Rochette with a gentle ascent. From there, you can admire the magnificent south face of the massif.

This hike can be done in a single day, but by taking your time, a short two-day trek allows you more time to admire the magnificent views of the mountains and valleys of the Vanoise and Tarentaise, as well as Mont Blanc. Doing it over two days gives us time to rest and take in these breathtaking landscapes. The climbs are relatively challenging and the ridge walk offers dizzying yet unforgettable experiences.

In summer, the resort of La Plagne offers a number of hiking routes that are very accessible thanks to the cable cars. This entirely downhill walk allows you to admire the area from a high vantage point (2,710 m) and discover a varied mountain landscape along a very pleasant path to La Plagne Bellecôte. Suitable for the whole family, provided everyone can cover this distance; please note that there are no shortcuts if you get tired.

Day 4 of the circular route around the Grande Casse, from Champagny-le-Haut to Pralognan via the Tour du Merle and the Grand Bec.

An exposed hike requiring caution, offering a stunning view over the entire southern sector of Pralognan-la-Vanoise.

Day1 of the Grande Casse circular route, from Pralognan to the Refuge de la Leisse, passing close to the impressive Grande Casse, all in a wild setting dotted with lakes.

A very beautiful high-altitude hike, a bit challenging but probably one of the most stunning. It passes through several little-visited cirques and offers high-mountain views throughout the route. This is a one-way hike, so you’ll need to organise your return journey (see practical information).

Étape de la Grande Traversée des Alpes dans la vallée de la Tarentaise autour du Mont Pourri jusqu'au lac de la Plagne où se trouve le refuge Entre Le Lac.

A challenging hike that passes through the Cirque du Petit Marchet, crosses the Roc du Tambour to reach the Refuge de la Vallette and ends at the hamlet of Le Prioux. Tip: only undertake this hike when there is no snow and in dry weather.

This ninth stage takes place in the Vanoise massif. First along the GR® 5 to Val Claret and then via the Via Alpina, which crosses the Haute Vanoise before rejoining the GR® 5.From the refuge, the path joins the GR® 5 at Plan de la Grassaz. The view opens out onto a vast plateau. The path passes Lake Grattaleu, the Refuge du Palet and the pass of the same name. It descends towards Val Claret and leaves the GR® 5 for the Haute Vanoise variant via the Via Alpina and the GR® 55. It climbs towards the Col de Fresse but bypasses it to reach the Col de la Leisse. The trail descends beneath the Grande Motte glacier, skirting the Lac des Nettes, and reaches the Refuge de la Leisse. At the Croé-Vie bridge, the Via Alpina leaves the GR® 55, heads for the Refuge d’Entre Deux Eaux, and crosses the Torrent de la Rocheure to rejoin the GR® 5. It climbs towards Lac des Lozières and then, at the foot of the glaciers, runs along a ridge overlooking the Doron Termignon valley and reaches the Refuge de l’Arpont.
