A challenging hike starting from Valfréjus Station. This circuit is a variation of the GR®5 or GR®57 to reach the summit of Mont Thabor and admire the 360° view of the mountains. We offer the hike with a bivouac at Lac des Méandes (below Col des Méandes) with a different return route from the outward journey, for a walking time of approximately 13 hours.The view is incredible all along the route. Please note that there is very little shade and at an altitude of 3,100 metres, it is always a little chilly.

A superb hike on the border between Savoie and the Hautes Alpes, almost in Italy. Tormented landscapes, high mountains, a chapel at over 3,150 metres, lakes, snowfields, and a bit of contemporary history, as a large part of the route has only been French territory since 1947.
