An easy walk at the bottom of the Rhêmes Valley, through larch and spruce forests and along the Grand Ru irrigation canal.
A short, slightly steeper detour takes you to the beautiful Vallon d’Entrelor and the Refuge Delle Marmotte.
On the way back, don’t miss the chance to admire the stunning Entrelor Waterfall and the lovely little Lake Pellaud.

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.

Departure from Valsavarenche (Aosta Valley)
A long day lies ahead with the climb to the Col de Lauzon (3,299m). This is the highest point of the TDG. The descent from the pass is pure delight. It is possible to run downhill for 3–4 km to the Vittorio Sella Refuge. It is a large refuge with plenty of people. The descent to Valnontey is also long, but there are plenty of cafés to rest in.

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!
