Mont Thabor walks
Mont Thabor from Les Granges de la Vallée Etroite
From its height of 3,178 metres, enjoy the magnificent 360° panorama that Mont Thabor offers over the Alps, as well as its small chapel, Notre-Dame des-Sept-Douleurs.
Mont Thabor from the Chalets de Laval
It's a round trip, but a magnificent one, where the trail winds its way among high-altitude lakes and takes you to the highest point, the area's iconic summit: Mont Thabor.
You will sometimes follow theGR® trail, sometimes unmarked paths, marked by almost too many cairns. Trust your map and your sense of direction, but still check your position before entering dangerous areas.
4 days in the Clarée Valley (Cerces and Thabor)
This 4-day circular bivouac is for experienced hikers.
It does, of course, follow sections of marked trails (GR®,GRP®), but the nature of the terrain when off-trail requires extreme caution (rock falls) and a solid knowledge of navigation, especially in unpredictable weather. The daily summit climb is obviously dependent on your equipment (crampons?), weather conditions (snowfields?) and your physical fitness.
Mont Thabor via the refuge
A superb hike on the border between Savoie and the Hautes Alpes, almost in Italy.
Tormented landscapes, high mountains, a chapel at over 3,150 metres, lakes, snowfields, and a bit of contemporary history, as a large part of the route has only been French territory since 1947.
Circular Mont Thabor from the Refuge Laval
The Clarée Valley is magnificent. Superb views from the summit, worthy of a 3,000-metre peak.
A very varied hike that takes you past 6 lakes in very different settings.
Mont Thabor and its twenty lakes
This splendid alternative to the usual linear route takes in more than 20 lakes around the Mont Thabor viewpoint.
Setting off early in the morning allows you to avoid the crowds and enjoy the many sunrises behind the peaks.
A small part of the hike is off-trail, but navigation is easy.
Mont Thabor Refuge - Terre Rouge Refuge
The central stage of the tour, with the ascent of Mount Thabor, the highest point of the tour and offering exceptional panoramic views. This stage requires good mountain walking skills, particularly for the descent into the Terre Rouge valley.
Lac Blanc - Refuge des Drayères
A day at high altitude in a rocky landscape, starting with the ascent of Mont Thabor (3,178 m), followed by a long descent to the Refuge des Drayères.
Lacs de la Madeleine - Lac Lavoir via Mont Thabor
Third day of the circular with ascent of Mont Thabor (highest point of the route) via the oldGR® trail along the Roche du Chardonnet ridge and the Valmeinier Glacier, which presents certain difficulties compared to the newGR® route.
As with the other days of the circular, this route is intended for very experienced hikers who are accustomed to high mountains.
