Vénéon (torrent) - Affluent de la Romanche walks

A well-deserved but spectacular view. A magnificent lake at the foot of the Muzelle glacier that is not to be missed!

A beautiful route along the two banks of the Vénéon, passing through the mountain village of Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans, home of Father Gaspard, who conquered La Meije in 1877. You will pass at the foot of two magnificent waterfalls, one of which you can cool off in by swimming underneath if you are brave enough.

Treat yourself to one of the most beautiful views of the Écrins Massif and the Vénéon Valley by climbing up to the Refuge de Temple-Écrins. Your efforts will be richly rewarded with a 360-degree panorama of the highest peaks in the massif, including its highest point at 4,102 metres. And as a bonus, you can enjoy a delicious omelette with bacon, potatoes and cheese on the terrace at an altitude of 2,410 metres!

A beautiful hike up the Étançons torrent with views of the Barre des Écrins and La Meije, staying on paths that present no technical difficulties.

This beautiful route in the magnificent Oisans massif takes you from the wild Vénéon valley to the small Alpe du Pin refuge, passing by the two magnificent waterfalls of Mariande and Froide Pisse. The crossing between the two valleys offers a beautiful panorama of some of the peaks of the Oisans.

A lovely hike in the Ecrins to see the Pilatte glacier. There are no tricky sections or navigation difficulties.

A breathtaking hike leading to the magnificent Lac de la Muzelle in the Écrins National Park. A challenging climb alongside streams and waterfalls.

Admittedly a fairly long hike, but one that will allow you to discover the magnificent Muande valley, with the Lavey refuge halfway along, and, once you reach the end, its majestic peaks and glaciers. No particular difficulty; the paths are always clearly visible and well signposted. Several alternative routes are available: see the ‘Practical Information’ section.
