Departure from Bonneval-sur-Arc (Savoie)
A circular route that takes you to the village of L’Écot via the Sentier des Oiseaux (left bank) and back via the Sentier des Agneaux (right bank). The walk allows you to discover the abundant flora and offers magnificent views of the village of Bonneval-sur-Arc and the surrounding peaks. A visit to the village of L’Écot, with its traditional stone houses and small chapel, is an unmissable stop. This is probably one of the most beautiful walks in the area, and what’s more, it’s accessible to everyone.

Departure from Val-d'Isère (Savoie)
A long stage for this third day with very varied landscapes and terrain.It’s a shame that the road section after the Refuge de la Femma can’t be avoided, as it’s rather uninteresting. You’ll have to wait until the Refuge d’Entre Deux Eaux to finally get back on a trail.The difficulty is mainly due to the distance, as the elevation gains aren’t too steep and the trails are in good condition.
