Other walks in the area
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.
Crête de Chalvet via the Tête des Fournéous
Hike to one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the Écrins, from Sirac to Meije and Cerces. Panoramic view of the Italian peaks of Piedmont and some of the peaks of Queyras.
Cols de la Lauze and Cols des Frères Mineurs
A visit to two passes at the head of the Vallon des Frères Mineurs in the Montgenèvre ski resort.
Chaberton
This summit overlooks Montgenèvre, as well as the entire Petite Durance valley and Briançon in particular. A fort with eight turrets supporting eight cannons was built here. This colossal work, carried out by the Italian army and intended to fire heavy shells at Briançon, was useless because, at the start of the war, French artillery fire destroyed this magnificent structure. But today, the ruins, now French, stand the test of time and offer a surprising view.
