Embark on an adventure in the Vanoise National Park... Marmots accompany
you on the lush high-altitude meadows as sparkling streams joyfully
bubble their way down the mountain. With your family or on your own,
this hike's a relaxing first step towards Fond d'Aussois.
To fully enjoy the tranquility and secure a parking spot, we recommend doing
this sunny hike in the spring or autumn.
In the summer, it's best to set off with the first breezes so you can hear the
morning calls of the marmots. Bounding along to nibble on their breakfast
amidst rhododendrons and tall grasses, they'll gladly accompany you, so
long as you stay quiet.
After pausing to watch them, you pick up the pace and as the path gets
slightly steeper, you sometimes feel the pebbles rolling under your feet.
The few mountain bikers you pass smile at you and seem to say: "just a bit
further and you'll get what you deserve: a stunning view of the lakes and
Dent Parraché, queen of the realm".
When you get to the bridge, you promise yourself that, on your next trip,
you'll go even further.
In the meantime, you can choose to either head back the way you came or
cross the Saint-Benoît torrent to return via the Fournache refuge. Isn't there
a waterfall of the same name a little lower down? Here's a hint: see you
under the Avrieux sun...
Waters "turquoise" of Plan d'Amont (2 078m) are a delight for the eyes. Surrounded by majestic mountains, it's a perfect starting point for many tours and hikes in the national park of Vanoise.The lake of Plan d'Amont (public domain) offers fishermen beautiful "fario" and "rainbow" trout.
French first National Park established in 1963, it carries out tasks of protection (nature, plant and animal species, habitats and natural resources), knowledge, awareness and environmental education.
