Refuge L'Alpage walks

This is a circular walk based on trail 5 as promoted by the Arêches tourist board. It is well marked with yellow signs and paint flashes or markers for trail 5. There are good views over to Mont Blanc, the Beaufortain Mountains and the lake, although small, is a nice place to eat your sandwiches.

Another long stage between the Chalet des Arolles and the hilltop village of Molliessoulaz.

Lake Gittaz and the Curé passage.

This is a long stage between La Lai and L'Écondu, offering superb views of Lac de Roselend at the start.

The final stage of the Tour du Beaufortain, between Molliessoulaz and Les Saisies.

Stage 1 of the Tour du Beaufortain, connecting Les Saisies resort to the Roselette chalet.

This 3rd stage of the Tour Mont Blanc (TMB) follows the Torrent des Glaciers up 900m to the Col de la Seigne. Climbing gently, at first, for just over 10km before dropping down 300m to Lex Blanche. Let's do it! The TMB is a classic long-distance footpath that goes around Mont Blanc, passing from France into Italy and through Switzerland before returning to France.

A lovely climb starting from Albertville, passing through the medieval town of Conflans and pretty mountain hamlets with views of the Tarentaise Valley, before reaching the Refuge du Soplat des Stream. The refuge is ideally located near the Tour du Beaufortain with a beautiful view of Albertville and the Olympic Park. Hike to be done from May to November: avalanche risk in winter above 1,100 metres.

stage 3 of the TMB: from the Refuge de la Croix du Bonhomme to the Elisabetta Refuge via the Col des Fours variant.

From the Croix du Bonhomme to Plan de la Lai for a short stage.
