The Vallée Perdue is a ravine carved out by a stream, which was dry when I visited, with impressive and fabulous walls and rocks.
The path at the bottom is very well maintained, with a few bridges, beams and cable ramps.
It is usually accessed from Val d'Isère La Daille, but I suggest starting from Tignes 2100, with the added bonus of Combefolle and the recommended Gouille de Salin.

Balcony trail from La Daille to Le Fornet with several possible entry points. The Balcony Trail is a must-do walk in Val d’Isère. It requires a bit of physical effort, but you’ll soon be rewarded with breathtaking views of the village, Solaise and Bellevarde.

Day 2 of a two-circular route in the Vanoise National Park, from the Refuge du Col du Palet to the Refuge de la Femma. A demanding hike due to its distance, but one that takes you through varied landscapes and brings you close to friendly marmots.

A little-used path leading to the Col de la Rocheure (2,911 m) runs alongside a myriad of small high-altitude lakes, before descending to the Refuge de la Femma. The ascent to the Col de Pierre-Blanche (2,842 m) is steady and not very well marked, even veering off the beaten track. The view is magnificent over the rocky Leisse valley, nestled between the giant peaks of the Grande Motte and the Grande Casse. Descend through these deserted landscapes towards the eagle’s nest that is the Refuge de la Leisse (2,487 m).

A long stage for this third day with very varied landscapes and terrain.It’s a shame that the road section after the Refuge de la Femma can’t be avoided, as it’s rather uninteresting. You’ll have to wait until the Refuge d’Entre Deux Eaux to finally get back on a trail.The difficulty is mainly due to the distance, as the elevation gains aren’t too steep and the trails are in good condition.

The third stage of a 4-day hiking tour around Mont Pourri. In the heart of the Vanoise National Park, this stage sets off from the La Martin Refuge and ends at the foot of Mont Turia and the refuge of the same name. The route takes you past glaciers and small lakes, and passes close to the very picturesque village of La Gurraz.
Breathtaking views of Mont Blanc and all the mountains stretching towards the Italian border.
