Circular hike in the Beaufortain Massif with access from the Tarentaise Valley (Aime then Granier). This hike minimises the elevation gain with a start at the hamlet of Thiabord, accessible by car on a drivable (but unpaved) road. This hike offers a very varied route, with part of the route along the ridge. The circular can be completed with a detour to the Refuge de la Coire.
