Mont-Cenis (Massif) walks
Lac de Savine - Col du Clapier
Route following the hypothetical passage of Hannibal and his elephants across the Alps. At the end of the wild and long valley lies the superb and large Lake Savine, at the foot of the Dents D'Ambin. A little further on, the Clapier border pass offers a magnificent view. On the way back, take a short detour to the Perrin Lakes.
Avérole refuge - Cabane des Bergers via the Pas de la Mule
Loop via the Avérole refuge above the hamlet of the same name, then an excursion in the fairly wild Lombarde valley to the Pas de la Mule. From the Cabane des Bergers, the return via the balcony offers a beautiful view of the valley and the refuge.
From Lac du Mont-Cenis to Lac Clair
An easy hike above 2,000 metres. It starts near the Col du Mont-Cenis, a pass known since ancient times for crossing the Alps.
Starting from the superb Lac du Mont-Cenis, it leads to the modest Lac Clair at the foot of what remains of the Lamet Glacier.
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.
The Refuge de Bramanette
This short hike is the starting point for a magnificent three-day trek between Haute Maurienne and Val de Suze (Italy), with beautiful lakes and numerous small glaciers.But the setting and the welcome at the Refuge de Bramanette are such that they alone justify spending the night there and descending back down to the valley the next day!
From Lake Mont-Cenis to Lake Clair via the Ronce stream
A lovely hike from Lake Mont Cenis to the small clear lake.
The route offers beautiful views of Lac de Mont-Cenis (although it was cloudy the day we did it). A fairly family-friendly hike.
From the Bramanette Refuge to the Ambin Refuge
A beautiful route, sometimes off the beaten track or on poorly marked paths. From the top of the passes, you can see both the peaks of the Vanoise (the Dent Parachée) and the Barre des Ecrins.This hike follows on from the "Le refuge de Bramanette" route.
Circular via Les Marmottes and Le Pracara from the cable car
A short loop with good slopes, both uphill and downhill.
The Sentier des Sources snowshoe trail from the cable car
A lovely, easy walk in the peaceful forest, starting at the top of the gondola lift and returning by chairlift.
