Description of the walk

Start from Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe, at the Tourist Office.

(S/E) Take the path behind the Tourist Office towards the hamlet of Cheloup. Follow the D218b road and take the path on the right at the bend. Join the D218b again and follow it for about a hundred metres until you see a stone staircase to the right of a garage.

(1) Leave the road and climb the stone steps to a path on the right. Follow this path, which then becomes a road running alongside the first chalets in Cheloup and rejoining the D218b. Follow this road again for about a hundred metres.

(2) Leave the D218b after the bend to the left and take the road on the left, just before a row of fir trees. Follow this road uphill to the first bend on the right.

(3) Turn onto a forest track heading left towards the Chalet du Reguet. Pass under two ski lifts before entering the forest.

(4) At the Chalet du Reguet, continue along the path to the left, heading towards Le Terret via Le Mans. Make a wide turn to the left (do not cross the ski lift line) and head downwards west-south-west. When you reach another ski lift line, follow the path as it turns first to the right and then to the left. Pass under the ski lift line and continue along the path towards the hamlet of Le Terret.

(5) At Le Terret, continue along the road back towards the starting point (S/E).

A very pleasant route, best enjoyed in winter. We found ourselves on a ski slope (which was closed, mind you) as we emerged from the forest between points 3 and 4 of the route, but we were kitted out for the snow (with poles and boots). There are plenty of views of the mountains and villages. An easy route, even with children, featuring a long, gentle climb at the start.

On the way to the Reguet chalet, the route takes you through an unmown meadow. There was a car parked near the chalet, and the people in it told us it was private property.
Following the advice of these people, we took the path ahead, which winds down through the woods and rejoins the route to the east of the Seigneurs ski lift.

Hello,
A lovely, fairly easy walk with a beautiful view of Mont Blanc. Once you reach the highest point of this walk, you can carry on to the Roc des Évettes. Kind regards

The description of the starting point is unclear. It’s not at the back but in front of the tourist office, and the path between the chalets isn’t obvious; the track looks like private property, which meant that, after several attempts, we ended up taking the road. After that, the route follows the busy road for too long.
Disappointed, we eventually gave up and turned back at point 2.
