Col de Champillon from Plan Debat
A lovely walk leading to the Col de Champillon via the Champillon Refuge. You can have a meal at the refuge if you book in advance.
Along the Ru de By starting from Champillon car park
Drive via Doues to the Doues - Champillon parking lot below the Refugio Champillon (a beautiful drive with magnificent views). From here, you can walk to the Refugio (1-hour climb) or take a relaxed stroll along the Rû (water channels), which is what I did (see route). Enjoy the beautiful views of both the mountains and the Ollomont valley. You can keep walking for as long as you like. Return the same way.
Walks near Plan Debat
Ollomont – Saint-Rhémy
An average day on paper, but the fatigue is setting in. But it’s the penultimate day. The route is still clearly marked, so we don’t waste too much time getting lost. A stop at the Refuge de Champillon is a must. There’s a climb through the fields. The Col de Champillon is the last major pass before the finish.
Ollomont - Dzovennoz
We leave the "TDC" to follow Alta Via No. 1 in the Aosta Valley until it crosses the road leading to Bionaz. In the old village, above the church and near a fountain, the trail marked Col de Breuson (Brison) begins.

From Étroubles to the Chaligne refuge
First day of the Tour du Mont Fallere. It’s a fairly quick day’s climb, mainly through woodland, to reach the Chaligne refuge. The route alternates between quiet forest tracks and some good, steeper sections of climb, with no technical difficulties.
From the Chaligne Refuge to the Mont Fallere Refuge via Pointe Chaligne
The second stage of the Tour du Mont Fallere promises a day of stunning views. Once you’ve completed the climb up to the ridges, the path alternates between descents and ascents, offering panoramic views of the Matterhorn to begin with, followed by the entire Aosta Valley and the peaks along the border.
Saint-Rhemy - Courmayeur
It’s the last day. The descent from the Col de Malatra is magnificent. It’s the last pass at almost 3,000 metres. You can see the path from afar, winding up the mountainside. After that, the solitude will be over. We rejoin the TMB from the Bonatti Refuge and its throng of hikers. The descent towards Courmayeur is superb, but once you reach the tarmac, it’s a very long way.
Saint-Rhémy-en-Bosses - Ollomont
Today's stage uses the "TDC" trail, which is also a section of the Alta Via N°1 of the Aosta Valley and the Sentiero Italia Tappa 11.

Saint-Rhémy-en-Bosses - Grand Saint-Bernard Hospice
An easy warm-up walk in preparation for a 3/4 tour of Les Combins. From the car park located after Saint-Rhémy, in a hairpin bend at an altitude of 1,730 m, coming from Saint-Rhémy-en Bosses, on Route 27 of the Col du Grand Saint-Bernard. The route follows the Via Alpina Red R117.
A route around the Combins massif
This seven-stage trek around Les Combins differs in a few ways from the classic tour. It allows you to hike in complete tranquillity in a sumptuous and diverse setting between the mid- and high-mountain ranges, where you will climb to over 3,000 metres. You will encounter dozens of marmots, ibex and herds of Herens cows. A few remnants of glaciers add to the alpine atmosphere of this trek, whose highest point is the Col du Mont Gelé at 3,144 metres.
Important note.Plan for two bus journeys on this route.
