Landry's Treasure

A short circuit accessible to children. You cross streams where they can play. The part in the forest is very pleasant, especially when it's hot. What's more, they can find wild strawberries and raspberries. The route is dotted with information panels about village life.

Description of the walk

The car park is located in front of the Lanslevillard Tourist Office.

(S) From the Tourist Office, take the bridge on the right and go through the arch. At the end of the bridge, turn left towards the cheese dairy. After the cheese dairy, ignore the first street on the left and continue to the end of the bend at the next crossroads.

(1) Leave the road and turn left. Go under a small tunnel and join the Chemin du Petit Bonheur à la Lozière.

(2) Turn left onto this path and continue for about 600 metres until you reach a sharp right-hand bend. Cut across the bend and turn left to climb directly up to the Chapelle Saint-Etienne. Return to the path, pass the Rocher des Sarrazins and you will come to a junction at the edge of the forest.

(3) Leave Chemin du Petit Bonheur and turn right onto the path that runs alongside the forest. You will return to the starting point, staying slightly higher than on the way there.

(4) Continue along the wide path that descends to the right, ignoring the path on the left that climbs uphill. Follow this path for about 1.9 km to reach the cross and rejoin the Chemin du Petit Bonheur.

(5) From the cross, take the tarmac road on the left and descend, passing the chapel to reach Rue de la Mairie. Turn right into Rue de la Mairie and continue straight down to the church. Just before the cemetery, turn right to cut across the bend and reach the bridge you crossed at the start.

Completed in the late afternoon on the day we arrived in Lanslevillard. More of a stroll than a hike, it allows you to discover the cultural heritage of the village.
Very easy, often shaded. Ideal for children

A short, easy walk close to the centre of Lanslevillard. This route takes you past a chapel, a few streams and waterfalls, and is mostly shaded by trees in the forest.

A very pleasant hike in the mountains, except that unfortunately the "return" section where we had to leave the Chemin du Petit Bonheur trail was closed (perhaps due to snow/avalanche risk).

The Landry treasure trail is signposted (orange signs), so as long as you don't see a sign, you should continue on the Chemin du Petit Bonheur snowshoe trail.
And I think the chapel is more than 600 metres away, as indicated in the description.

The scenery is very beautiful.

A walk taken on a very hot day (10 August 2024).
The return trip through the forest was very pleasant 😉
Magnificent waterfall on the path along the forest.
I recommend it

It's a lovely route when you have young hikers. The youngest is 5 years old. She thought it was "great"

it's great for families and also for days when you don't want to or can't go up to higher altitudes (due to the weather).
You can continue to Bessans, still on small roads (passing by the lake after crossing the main road), except for the last kilometre before Bessans

A hike that is perfectly accessible for families and a good way to stretch your legs at the start of your stay. Numerous waterfalls and streams along the way make the route very attractive.
