Description

If you're a fan of undiscovered regions, the Val d'Ambin is the place for you. Between alpine pastures and high-altitude passes, this escapade promises an extraordinary journey. And as an added bonus, a precious foray into the Savine valley.

This stage is worth a last effort to enjoy the Perrins lakes, which look like mini fjords. Admire the contrasting reflections during a well-earned refreshment break that seems to prolong the journey soon to be over. The rocks sometimes rattle as you roll through the surrounding scree. The distant whistle of marmots guides you back to the refuge, which is not far off. What could be better than a gourmet break before bringing your escape to a close? But what is this unusual wooden door opening onto the Petit Mont Cenis pass? A must for a souvenir photo of your journey.
