The departure point is Pralognan-la-Vanoise. Leave the Tarentaise Valley at Moutiers and continue to the end of the D915. Park at the entrance to the village.
(S/E) Reach the cross-country skiing plateau via the Crozon Morgat bypass.
(1) Take the snowshoe trail that leads to La Chollière (1450m).
(2) Walk up through the hamlet, enjoying the beautiful views, then take the snowshoe trail on the left towards Pont de Gerlon. You will reach the crossroads with the Route des Prioux.
(3) Turn left to reach Pont de Gerlon (1592m).
(4) Caution: from here on, the route is no longer "safe", so do not continue if there is a risk of avalanches.
Cross the bridge and make a wide turn northwards then southwards. Continue along the forest road in more or less the same direction. We saw chamois on the way up and down before arriving at the hamlet of Les Prioux (1711m).
(5) Follow the track where a sign indicates the Roc de la Pêche refuge is 45 minutes away (it took us 1 hour 15 minutes to reach it). A little further on, the slope becomes steeper with a series of large hairpin bends. You will reach a flat area before arriving at the hamlet of Montaimont.
(6). Go around a hillock, cross the stream, then climb up to the Roc de la Pêche refuge (1,911 m), which you will reach after a 3½-hour walk.
(7) Descend by the same route to the Prioux road junction.
(3) From there, take a trail parallel to the cross-country ski track which leads through the forest to the Nordic area. Then continue left along the snowshoe trail which goes around the plateau to the west and joins the entrance to Pralognan and the starting point (S/E).
