La Plagne hamlet car park.
(S/E) From the car park, take the path leading uphill. The first 300 metres are a gentle climb up to a junction.
(1) Take the path on the left. In the woods, the gradient is already a little steeper. You will then reach the junction with theGR®9.
(2) Turn right, staying in the woods, with sections where the gradient becomes steeper; this continues until you reach the Col de l'Alpette (1547 m).
(3) From the pass, head down towards the Cabane de l'Alpette.
(4) Continue towards a short, steep section which leads back into the forest for a pleasant walk. Let the path to the right, heading towards Le Pinet, pass you by and continue on theGR® to reach the plateau.
(5) Head generally south for a long traverse across the plateau. The traditional red and whiteGR® markings on the trees are here usefully supplemented by markers rising approximately 1.20 m above the snow level. This takes you to the Chalet de l'Alpe, also known as Habert de Saint-Vincent.
(6) From the chalets, an extension to the Croix de l'Alpe is possible if winter weather conditions permit. Allow approximately 1 hour 30 minutes for the round trip.
Otherwise, take the reverse route of the outward journey to return to the car park (S/E).
