Description

This family trail, in the heart of the Vanoise national Parc, leads you to a magnificent scenery over the glaciers of Vanoise. The trail joins the lakes and mountain hut Lac Blanc and Plan du Lac.

From the Coêtet parking lot in the hairpin bend, take the path on the outside of the bend towards the ruins. This takes you to Lac Blanc, in which the Dent Parrachée is reflected. Head east along the lake towards Praz Bouchet and the Refuge du Lac Blanc. A wide path then leads to the Bellecombe parking lot, past the Auberge de Bellecombe, a traditional alpine farm where you can watch the cows.
Continue north towards the Refuge de Plan du Lac. The trail crosses the stream on the left bank before reaching the lake and then the refuge.

Return along the same path to the Bellecombe parking lot (shuttle bus possible). South of the parking lot, cross the footbridge, then turn right. The path gradually descends towards the valley, passing through the hamlet of La Chavière and then the chapel of Sainte-Marguerite. The path then crosses the road several times before reaching the parking lot.

Possible extension from Plan du Lac to the Entre deux Eaux mountain pasture and refuge.
Round trip time: 5h30
Distance: 16 km
