A lovely summer walk in Champagny-en-Vanoise.
After a fairly steep climb through the Bois des Chapelets, you follow a ridge walk in the Forêt du Miollet with magnificent views of the Vanoise Massif, the Grand Bec and the Vanoise Glaciers.
The descent then takes you through the Bois des Genévriers and past the alpine chalets at Combes d’en Haut and La Traye.

A lovely walk in very open countryside, with no major difficulties.
We did it at the end of July and it felt like we were in a flower garden.

Departure from Champagny-en-Vanoise (Savoie)
The proposed route allows you to climb Mont de la Guerre from Champagny-en-Vanoise and descend via the ski area. The route passes by the Champagny cable cars for those who wish to shorten the descent (please note that they are not operational on Saturdays). There are many alternatives for the descent; I have suggested this version to create a loop. Instead of going through the Bois des Génévriers, it is possible to descend via the forest track.

In summer, the resort of La Plagne offers a number of hiking routes that are very accessible thanks to the cable cars.
This entirely downhill walk allows you to admire the area from a high vantage point (2,710 m) and discover a varied mountain landscape along a very pleasant path to La Plagne Bellecôte.
Suitable for the whole family, provided everyone can cover this distance; please note that there are no shortcuts if you get tired.

Departure from Aime (Savoie)
This hike can be done in a single day, but by taking your time, a short two-day trek allows you more time to admire the magnificent views of the mountains and valleys of the Vanoise and Tarentaise, as well as Mont Blanc. Doing it over two days gives us time to rest and take in these breathtaking landscapes. The climbs are relatively challenging and the ridge walk offers dizzying yet unforgettable experiences.
