Refuge de Terre Rouge walks

This hike consists of two loops that meet at the Terre Rouge refuge. The lower loop allows you to admire the Neuvache valley from a balcony trail as you climb. On the descent, the route often runs alongside the torrent itself. The upper loop takes place in a more mineral environment at the base of the western slope of Mont Thabor. The markings for these loops are varied.

First stage of the Petit tour du Mont Thabor hike

A lovely hike through the Neuvache valley to reach Lac Curtalés and the neighbouring lakes, with a detour to the beautifully coloured Lac Vert. The ascent follows a balcony path on the right bank of the Neuvache, offering superb views of the valley and the mountains. The return route, following the left bank along the stream, offers some pleasant shaded areas during hot weather. Yellow markings and signposts to help you find your way.

A hike packed with kilometres – both in distance and elevation gain! A 360° viewpoint on Mont Thabor between the Vanoise and Écrins massifs. Find all the reviews for this hike on the first stage’s page https://www.visorando.com/randonnee-peti...

This is the last stage of this three-day route, with one last beautiful climb. A final alpine pass, a few lakes, and the return via the Fenêtre du Prec to round off this lovely Tour du Thabor.

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.

A magnificent hike along the Neuvache river, which will take you to Lac des Glaciers in a magnificent alpine cirque dominated by Roche du Chardonnet, Pointe des Angelières, Mont Thabor and Pic du Thabor via Lac Vert, Lac Curtalès, Lac Rond, Lac Cornu, Lac Bri and an unnamed lake.The diversity of the environments, including forests, mountain pastures and mineral landscapes, is what makes this magnificent but demanding hike so interesting. It is aimed at experienced hikers who are used to long walks on varied terrain and are accustomed to navigating by map and visually, particularly between Lac Bri and Lac des Glaciers and at the start of the descent from the latter.Visorando app recommended.
