Much of the Grées Alps is covered by two national parks: the Vanoise and the Gran Paradiso.
A truly alpine route where you’ll remain above 2,300 metres, with magnificent views of the glaciers, not to mention the sections through the Fontine and Beaufort mountain pastures.

The ascent takes you through very wild, virtually off-trail terrain up to the Nivoletta Alpine Pass (3,152 m), followed by a descent via the gullies overlooking the magnificent Leitz and Rosset Lakes in the Valsavarenche. You then make your way towards the Chivasso Refuge through splendid flower-filled mountain pastures, renowned for their delicious fontina cheese.
From Rhêmes-Notre-Dame to Refigio de la Marmotte

4h 10
Moderate
Departure from Rhêmes-Notre-Dame (Aosta Valley)
A beautiful and fairly easy walk to a very nice Refigio. A large part is through the forest, so there is plenty of shade. After the Refigio, you can walk a little further to sit and relax at a small current (2). If you fancy a very short walk (due to bad weather, for example), turn left at (3) instead of going up. You walk along a very old irrigation canal (Rû).

Departure from Rhêmes-Notre-Dame (Aosta Valley)
A short, pleasant walk for when the weather is a bit unpredictable. A walk along an irrigation canal, also known as the Rû. We start in the quiet village of Bruil and make a loop back via Pessey and Rhêmes-Notre-Dame. We start with a decent climb, but after that, it is relaxed.

Very difficult
Departure from La Thuile (Aosta Valley)
A magnificent hike following the trail of the ultra-trail of the same name. A hike designed for experienced hikers. The sections in the southernmost part can be tricky due to late snowfields on the north-east face. The route is very well marked, so there aren’t really any problems along the way. The hike can be done in either direction. This route allows you to tackle the wildest section at the start. It is also the most technically challenging part.
Valgrisenche – Refuge Delle Marmotte

Very difficult
Departure from Valgrisenche (Aosta Valley)
A pleasant climb with views of the lake. The Chalet de l’Épée refuge is a great place to relax before the climb up to the pass. On the other side of the pass, there may be a snowfield in a narrow gully, so be careful if you’re wearing trail shoes. The Refuge de la Marmotte is a collaborative refuge. The wardens are there for two weeks and the food is good!
