Trek across the Gran Paradiso
It may not be true paradise but it certainly is heavenly. An exceptional group trek carried out in July 2011 which allows you to explore the Val D'aoste valleys ending with a balcony trail to Gran Paradiso summit.

Hello
My wife and I did the full 7-day route this July 2020.
Thank you, it's a parish specific to Brittany.
my comments :
- a magnificent route on all the stages
- More difficult in reality than indicated. Not for beginners
- The second stage is parish specific to Brittany. Allow 8 hours without stops for a normal pace. It said 6:30 on the topo at the start, now it's 7 h. Really optimistic.
- The difficulty is a little underestimated, so don't invite people who are too sensitive to vertigo: climb the Col de la Crosetta on the 2nd day, descend the Col Entralor (steep and exposed, not equipped, and ice axe or crampons required), descend the exposed Col du Lauzon.

Hello.
I was looking for the complete tour of Gran Paradiso, Alta Via 1 and 2, but only found part of the route. Information is always good to have, but I found a mine of information on the Aosta Valley website:http://www.lovevda.it/fr/sport/randonnee...
Best regards.

Between the coolness of the streams and panoramic views, this hike is punctuated by footbridges and lookout points. All of this allows you to get up close to the power of the water and admire the magnificent Alpine panoramas.

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.

Departure from Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise (Savoie)
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.
