Please note that the route starts along a very busy road with no pavement or other facilities. Once you’ve passed the first 200 metres, you’ll reach a much quieter road. We’ve only noted the first quarter of the route, as we decided to turn off to avoid the main road as much as possible and enjoy the forest paths.

A pleasant little walk, but nothing particularly interesting. In September, the route is lined with orchards galore, with apple trees all along the way, which adds a touch of charm to this route, which is almost entirely paved from start to finish.

A lovely climb starting from Albertville, passing through the medieval town of Conflans and pretty mountain hamlets with views of the Tarentaise Valley, before reaching the Refuge du Soplat des Stream. The refuge is ideally located near the Tour du Beaufortain with a beautiful view of Albertville and the Olympic Park.

Whether you do it alone or with your family, this hike will allow you to discover how people lived around 60 years ago. It is a pleasant walk through a hundred hectares of forest and small plains. Along the way, you will find barns furnished with tools from the period and numerous photos. A very interesting route that will take you back to your starting point, where a guest book awaits you.
