Valgrisenche walks

Fourth stage between Valgisenche and Val de Rheme.

A two part hike. First up the Doire de Valgrisenche, a steady slope offering a leafy, green landscape. From the refuge, the landscape becomes essentially mineral and the slope steeper all the way to Vuert's small perched lake. Stunning high mountain surroundings.

Nestled at the foot of Tête du Ruitor and its glaciers, within a beautiful setting, Saint-Grat Lake is the highlight of any hike in its own right. Through the final twists and turns before the lake, the slope is smooth and the route straightforward. The next climb much steeper, leading to Refuge Adami gives you a stunning view point.

Another valley trek, the aim of today is Valsavarenche.

A Trek through Valgrisenche with a view over the large village dam.

A long and difficult stage due to the ascension of 2 passes.

From Valsavaranche to Val de Cogne in the middle of a herd of chamois.

A trek across the Gran Paradiso passing through the 5 surrounding valleys.

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.

Spectacular view over Gran Paradiso.
