Walks near Lac du Pys
From Bonneval to the Carro refuge
This first stage, starting from one of the most beautiful villages in France, is a gentle warm-up that culminates (for the more adventurous) at the Col du Carro (3,149 m), the border between France and Italy and a magnificent viewpoint in fine weather, offering views of the surrounding peaks and glaciers.
From the Fond des Fours Refuge to the Col de la Vanoise Refuge
A long stage for this third day with very varied landscapes and terrain.It’s a shame that the road section after the Refuge de la Femma can’t be avoided, as it’s rather uninteresting. You’ll have to wait until the Refuge d’Entre Deux Eaux to finally get back on a trail.The difficulty is mainly due to the distance, as the elevation gains aren’t too steep and the trails are in good condition.
Rifugio Savoia - Eaux-Rousses
A balcony trail. Stage4 of the circular route in the Gran Paradiso National Park. Return to the Valsavarenche valley.
Refuge de la Femma to Val d'Isère via the Col des Fours and Col de l'Iseran
Second day of this mini trek around Tignes-Val d'Isère, three legendary passes in the Vanoise with magnificent views of the neighbouring glaciers. A long day with a few technical sections, particularly at Tunnel 3000 (7).
The Col de la Leisse from the arrival point of the Aéroski cable car
A beautiful hike to admire the mountains around Tignes, with views as far as Mont Blanc. Lovely view of the Grande Motte glacier. Little elevation gain when taking the cable car.
Refuge de la Femma from Tignes / Val Claret
Day1 of this mini trek around Tignes – Val d’Isère, a magnificent hike in the heart of the Vanoise National Park starting from Tignes. This hike allows you to discover the wild valleys of the Leisse and the Femma. The GPX track may prove useful after the (5).
Circular route in the Vanoise around Tignes / Val d'Isère
A challenging two-day mini-trek in the heart of the Vanoise National Park between the resorts of Tignes and Val d’Isère, with several possible routes. Ideal for seasonal workers or for those who want to experience a night in a mountain refuge.
Leisse refuge - Col du Palet refuge
Day2 of the Grande Casse circular route, from the Refuge de la Leisse to the Refuge du Col du Palet, following theGR®55via Val Claret.
Refuge de la Marmotte - Eaux Rousses
A short day as the next day takes you into the Gran Paradiso National Park, where camping is prohibited; I had to cut the stage short, otherwise it would have had to be extended unreasonably. The Hostellerie du Gran Paradis is the only place to stay overnight. The food is great, but be warned: at weekends there are often Italians, French people, etc. out mountain biking.
