Lac de l'Etroit walks

In summer, the resort of La Plagne offers a number of hiking routes that are very accessible thanks to the cable cars. This entirely downhill walk allows you to admire the area from a high vantage point (2,710 m) and discover a varied mountain landscape along a very pleasant path to La Plagne Bellecôte. Suitable for the whole family, provided everyone can cover this distance; please note that there are no shortcuts if you get tired.

The second stage of a 4-day walking tour around Mont Pourri. In the heart of the Vanoise National Park, this stage sets off from the Refuge du Mont Pourri and finishes at the Refuge de La Martin. This is the most rocky stage, passing through the highest point of the tour at the Col de la Sachette. It is also the longest stage, but offers a great variety of scenery and a good chance of spotting chamois.

Étape de la Grande Traversée des Alpes dans la vallée de la Tarentaise autour du Mont Pourri jusqu'au lac de la Plagne où se trouve le refuge Entre Le Lac.

Day 4 of the circular route around the Grande Casse, from Champagny-le-Haut to Pralognan via the Tour du Merle and the Grand Bec.

Day1 of a two-circular route in the Vanoise National Park, from Champagny-le-Haut to the Refuge du Col du Palet. A fairly demanding ascent of 1,100 metres, but with a beautiful panorama to reward your efforts, particularly the view over Lac de la Plagne.

The Colorado chairlift in La Plagne operates during the summer. It provides access to the summit of the Grande Rochette with a gentle ascent. From there, you can admire the magnificent south face of the massif.

This ninth stage takes place in the Vanoise massif. First along the GR® 5 to Val Claret and then via the Via Alpina, which crosses the Haute Vanoise before rejoining the GR® 5.From the refuge, the path joins the GR® 5 at Plan de la Grassaz. The view opens out onto a vast plateau. The path passes Lake Grattaleu, the Refuge du Palet and the pass of the same name. It descends towards Val Claret and leaves the GR® 5 for the Haute Vanoise variant via the Via Alpina and the GR® 55. It climbs towards the Col de Fresse but bypasses it to reach the Col de la Leisse. The trail descends beneath the Grande Motte glacier, skirting the Lac des Nettes, and reaches the Refuge de la Leisse. At the Croé-Vie bridge, the Via Alpina leaves the GR® 55, heads for the Refuge d’Entre Deux Eaux, and crosses the Torrent de la Rocheure to rejoin the GR® 5. It climbs towards Lac des Lozières and then, at the foot of the glaciers, runs along a ridge overlooking the Doron Termignon valley and reaches the Refuge de l’Arpont.

Étape de la Grande traversée des Alpes en Vanoise par une variante haute montagne avec passage de 2 cols (col du Palet et col de la Leisse).

This hike can be done in a single day, but by taking your time, a short two-day trek allows you more time to admire the magnificent views of the mountains and valleys of the Vanoise and Tarentaise, as well as Mont Blanc. Doing it over two days gives us time to rest and take in these breathtaking landscapes. The climbs are relatively challenging and the ridge walk offers dizzying yet unforgettable experiences.

The first stage of a 4-day circuit around Mont Pourri. In the heart of the Vanoise National Park, this stage sets off from a very modern ski resort and ends at the foot of the glaciers in a wild, unspoilt landscape. Breathtaking views of Bellecôte (north face), the Aliet and its magnificent debris cone, as well as the Grande Motte and the Plan de la Plagne valley.
