Séez walks

A lovely walk on the sunny side, crossing the Forêt des Bochères, which will allow you to discover the hamlet of Saint-Germain and its mill, situated on the road leading to the Col du Petit-Saint-Bernard.

This is the ultimate family hike, offering cool shade in the forest via a superb balcony trail overlooking the Tarentaise Valley and Bourg-Saint-Maurice. As you leave the forest, you will be walking among blueberry bushes.

A lovely hike in the Beaufortain to discover the five lakes of Forclaz. This is an easy route with no navigation difficulties, so you can leave your map in your bag. At the start, you are still in the mountain pastures, then gradually the environment becomes more and more rocky.

A magnificent hike that alternates between shaded forest sections, a balcony trail and a mountain lake.

A short, easy walk with magnificent panoramic views of the Haute-Tarentaise, Mont Pourri, Col du Petit Saint-Bernard, Mont Blanc and much more.

Hike starting from Les Arcs 2000. As this is a resort hike, there are unfortunately some man-made features, but I suggest the most unspoilt route possible. The first section follows a beautiful path (the ‘Sentier des Lacs’) to Lac des Moutons. Then there is a short but steep climb to Aiguille Grive (2,733m) and its magnificent view of Mont Blanc before heading back down.

Hike starting from the Col du Petit Saint-Bernard, with a low elevation gain of 800 metres, beginning in the mountain pastures, then a well-marked section on schist before the last 250 metres on the grassy western slope, which is never exposed. High point: regular sightings of male ibex on a ridge. The detour via Lac sans Fond allows you to make a loop.

A magnificent hike starting from the Hospice du Petit Saint-Bernard to reach a high-altitude lake at the foot of the Lancebranlette summit.

The Chapelle des Vernettes is a highlight of Baroque religious art in the Tarentaise region and a must-see hike in the Peisey Valley. Its main advantage is its accessibility, which can become a problem in the height of summer when many cars make the trip.

Whether seen from Nancroix or Les Vernettes, where it displays its impressive red cliff face, or from Le Rosuel, where it resembles a castle tower, the Aiguille Rousse is always impressive! However, it is only the chance of the relief that gives it this appearance of a watchtower over the valley. Its neighbour, the Aiguille Grive, is significantly higher, but also easier to access. Indeed, it is better not to be afraid of heights at the top of the Rousse!

A short walk for children through the hamlets between Le Villaret and Vallandry. Much of the ascent is by cable car (free of charge). Afterwards, it’s a pleasant walk through the forest with lovely views of the valley and, if the weather is fine, the chance to see Mont Blanc.

Discover a breathtaking natural spectacle. You’ll find yourself just a few metres from a dizzying waterfall, after an easy walk that takes place mainly in the forest.

Certainly one of the most beautiful hikes in Haute-Tarentaise! A long but very beautiful route passing through the still wild valley of the Louïe Blanche, a short detour into Italy to the magnificent Bellacomba Lakes and the return via the Col du Tachuy and Lac du Petit, all dominated by the Pointes des Assaly with a breathtaking view of the Ruitor, Mont Pourri and the Aosta Valley side of the Mont Blanc massif.

Une très belle randonnée dans le vallon sauvage de la Louïe Blanche, avec comme objectif le Lac du Retour, miroir du Mont Pourri.

A varied hike through the Petit and Mercuel valleys to a rather secluded lake in the Alpes Grées. No particular difficulties on this circular route of just over 12 km, ideal for spending a lovely day in the mountains away from the crowds.

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.

An easy, well-marked hike that can be done in winter with snowshoes (or possibly just with small crampons) in a forest, far from the ski lifts, to the charming hamlet of Les Esserts, which is uninhabited in winter.The north-facing slope means that the route is in the shade of the mountain and the snow melts less quickly.The walk is signposted from the bridge with yellow signs.

A magnificent circular if you don't have fog like we did.

Another classic in the Peisey valley, with a bird's eye view of the village and a beautiful panorama of Mont Pourri. The route is steep and somewhat exposed, but it is possible to make a round trip via the descent route.

A beautiful hike in the Beaufortain, it starts gently from the Cormet de Roselend and becomes more rugged as you leave the mountain pastures behind and enter a rugged and colourful mineral world. No difficulty in finding your way, as this is a variant of the Tour du Beaufortain.

A beautiful hike with views of Lac de Roselend, crossings of mountain pastures and a wilder section towards Col de Bresson. The Presset refuge and its lake offer a chance to take a break in an exceptional landscape. After the Col de Grand Fond, Mont Blanc is visible for much of the return journey, directly opposite the path.

A lovely hike that allows you to enjoy very different terrains: forest, alpine pastures, rocks. Beautiful view of the Beaufortain, especially the Pierra Menta, and allows you to approach the menacing north face of Bellecôte. As a bonus, an easy 3000-metre peak.

Le Monal is one of the most beautiful examples of mountain pastures in the Tarentaise. Facing the Mont Pourri glaciers, this hike offers magnificent, colourful landscapes in every season.

In autumn, around the hamlet of Monal, the larch trees set the valley ablaze, while on the opposite slope, the Mont Pourri glaciers sparkle in the sun. Higher up, it is the Balmes glaciers that steal the show. This hike to the lakes is a feast for the eyes.

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.
