Other walks in the area
The Tour du Prarial
A pleasant circular route through the forest along the watershed. You first follow the Durance, which is then just a small stream and which will eventually flow into the Rhône and then the Mediterranean. The circular route ends along the Doire, another small stream that is a tributary of the Po, which in turn flows into the Adriatic Sea.
Sestrières Wood and Torrent du Vallon, starting from Montgenèvre
A walk through a beautiful, open forest canopy dominated by larch trees, which grow alongside a few deciduous trees such as oaks, alders and birches. Higher up, the forest features other conifers, including various species of pine and fir, where the bird cherry grows. The path is lined with beautiful flowering willowherbs and coltsfoot. From the Bois des Bans, there is a stunning view over the Clarée valley. This walk is classified as difficult as there are a few sections with steep, challenging gradients.
Le Brousset and the Durance Valley
A very beautiful, easy walk through the larch forest. It runs alongside the Bois du Prarial before taking a lovely path (Le Brousset) which offers magnificent panoramic views of Mont Chaberton and the summit of La Loubatière. You then head towards the headwaters of the Durance, which converge in a beautiful glacial cirque dominated by the Sommet de Château Jouan and the Janus military fortification. The walk ends as you follow the river along its left bank.
The Grand Charvia from Montgenèvre
This walk, starting from Montgenèvre, passes through a beautiful forest before reaching a vast natural terrace offering superb panoramic views, particularly of the Grand Charvia, the small pass and the surrounding mountains.
San Gervasio Gorges, starting from Montgenèvre
This easy route, which crosses the French-Italian border, will allow you to discover the magnificent San Gervasio Gorges, the stream that flows through them, and the charming village of Clavière.
Mont de la Plane or Sommet de la Loubatière
A hike starting from the Montgenèvre resort towards a border peak offering a fantastic panorama of the surrounding French-Italian summits.
Le Chenaillet, Le Grand Charvia and the Sommet de la Loubatière
This long circular route starting from Montgenèvre first takes you through a beautiful forest before reaching the high-altitude areas of Les Gondrans and L’Aigle. The three peaks over 2,500 m along the route offer superb panoramic views of the surrounding peaks.
The Pointe des Rochers Charniers
Behind the famous and very popular Mont Chaberton lies a magnificent, little-known but equally impressive ridge. This route takes you there after a pleasant climb through the forest and mountain pastures of the Col des Fonds, before descending via the Italian side of the ridge.
Please note: this route is reserved for experienced walkers accustomed to long hikes, as it includes some very steep and stony sections. I strongly recommend bringing walking poles to make the ascent and descent of the ridge easier.
