Lacs Verdets walks
Lac du Clou and Lacs Verdet via Le Monal
In autumn, around the hamlet of Monal, the larch trees set the valley ablaze, while on the opposite slope, the Mont Pourri glaciers sparkle in the sun. Higher up, it is the Balmes glaciers that steal the show.
This hike to the lakes is a feast for the eyes.
Walks near Lacs Verdets
Refuge de l'Epée - Bruil
Fourth stage between Valgisenche and Val de Rheme.
Valgrisenche – Refuge Delle Marmotte
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!
The Chemin des Militaires from La Rosière
A breathtaking view of the Mont Blanc massif. From the top station of the Roches Noires chairlift, take the path leading to the strategic site of the Fort de la Redoute Ruinée at an altitude of 2,399 metres.
From there, a suspension footbridge faces Mont Blanc.
Deffeyes Shelter - Planaval
A long and difficult stage due to the ascension of 2 passes.
Albert Deffeyes Mountain Hut - Valgrisenche
The hike begins with a long climb up to the pass. The views are magnificent. The descent to Valgrisenche is long. There is a restaurant on the descent to Planaval, run by young people who have taken over their parents’ business. It’s a lovely place to spend some time whilst waiting for the hike to end at the bottom of the valley.
La Joux - Deffeyes Shelter
A trek across the Gran Paradiso passing through the 5 surrounding valleys.
Trek across the Gran Paradiso
It may not be true paradise but it certainly is heavenly. An exceptional group trek carried out in July 2011 which allows you to explore the Val D'aoste valleys ending with a balcony trail to Gran Paradiso summit.
Bruil - Eaux Rousses
Another valley trek, the aim of today is Valsavarenche.
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.
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.
