Departure from Prali (Torino)
2nd stage is entirely in Italy allowing you to walk alongside the many military buildings that protect the nearby border. The long descent before the shelter lets you enjoy the Italian pastures that appear much greener than the French. This is due to the more abundant moisture from this side of the border.

The hidden side of the Maurienne
Association / Club / Walk leader
22.39 mi
+9,124 ft
-9,035 ft
3 days
Difficult
Departure from Bramans (Savoie)
The lower part of the Maurienne Valley is better known for its motorway – which people drive along without stopping – than for its wild high-mountain landscapes.
This route, starting from St Pierre d’Extravache and winding through rocky landscapes, deep blue lakes and ever-present glaciers, disproves the reputation that the valley may have been given. You’ll be walking for three days amongst mountain pastures and high peaks, whilst remaining in mid-mountain terrain.

8h 15
Difficult
Departure from Bramans (Savoie)
A very beautiful route amongst glaciers and lakes, which crosses the Italian border (beautiful view of the Val di Suza) and returns to France via the Col Clapier, which Hannibal and his elephants probably passed through.
This route follows on from the hike “From the Bramanette Refuge to the Ambin Refuge”, but can easily be done starting from the Ambin Refuge alone.

Very difficult
Departure from Lanslebourg-Mont-Cenis (Savoie)
A hike for experienced walkers that takes you to an altitude of 3,500 metres – one of the highest in France – without the need for specialist kit. No major difficulties apart from the elevation gain and the narrow corridor leading out of the steep slopes, but at the summit, if you’re lucky enough to avoid the nebbia, you’ll be rewarded with a magnificent view (Rochemelon, Charbonnel, Pointe de Ronce, Giusalet...).

-2,441 ft
5h 25
Difficult
Departure from Aiguilles (Hautes-Alpes)
A circular hike starting from Aiguilles and passing through Chalvet, Le Lombard, Les Eygliers and La Pause. Normally classified as moderate, but difficult due to:- the uneven distribution of elevation gain: fairly steep climb from the start, almost flat for 7 km, steep descent,- two small, almost flat sections where the path is poorly marked,- a steep section protected by a handrail that is impractical in snow or frost and impossible for a donkey, even without a pack. A dog off the leash can pass through easily.

Easy
Departure from Aiguilles (Hautes-Alpes)
This hike is designed as a walk for someone who is not as alert as they used to be but who still loves the mountains, the smell of larch trees and the sound of cowbells.Note: as the walk starts from the car park of the EHPAD and the Foyer d'Accueil Médicalisé, Mamé is a generic name.NB: given the slight incline and long flat distances, this route can also be used for jogging, at a very different pace.
