Departure from Val-d'Isère (Savoie)
A long hike in the heart of the Vanoise National Park, through a largely rocky landscape, where you experience a striking sense of solitude when you don’t come across anyone – which isn’t necessarily unpleasant. At the summit of the Pointe de Méan Martin, a lunar-like panorama – which could be described as magnificent desolation – awaits you.
The path is well marked along almost the entire circular route. One section involves off-trail walking from the Pointe du Pisset, for 600 to 700 metres, to rejoin the path leading to the highest point of this route.

A long stage for this third day with very varied landscapes and terrain.It’s a shame that the road section after the Refuge de la Femma can’t be avoided, as it’s rather uninteresting. You’ll have to wait until the Refuge d’Entre Deux Eaux to finally get back on a trail.The difficulty is mainly due to the distance, as the elevation gains aren’t too steep and the trails are in good condition.
