Description

Why not try your hand at roaming the mountains, skirting the glaciers of the Vanoise National Park? This escapade will delight young and not-so-young hikers accustomed to moderate efforts at altitude.

On this varied stage, you flirt with the neighboring Tarentaise region. The mineral atmosphere, enhanced by the torrent des fours, may be visited by a few shy chamois. There are plenty of late season névés around the Col de la Rocheure at 2900m altitude. After a rocky descent, take a contemplative break on the plan des fours before reaching the refuge. It looks like this little high-altitude jewel will be your privilege at the end of the day!(
