Canopée des Cîmes walking loop

Description

Let yourself be transported effortlessly and enjoy an easy ride perched at an altitude of 2750 metres. There's no better way to open your eyes without limits. A summit meeting to overlook the Val Cenis resort in total freedom.

After two successive lifts, you're parachuted into the mineral atmosphere of Le Solert in just a few minutes. Culminating at over 3,377 metres, the impressive north face of the Grand Mont Cenis signal is revealed in all its glory. Once you've cast a fascinated glance at it, enjoy a climb punctuated by various viewpoints on easy switchbacks. Proudly reach the Col de la Met. A breath of fresh air is guaranteed at an altitude of 2800 metres. The dream becomes reality: a bird's-eye view of Lake Mont Cenis and the Italian peaks! Turn around calmly...the Vanoise glaciers face you. Are you feeling the exhilaration of the peaks? On a strong Lombardy day, it's best to postpone this exceptional trip. The descent to the ski area lets you imagine the wide-open spaces of winter. So much rock in summer for so much snow in winter... No doubt about it, this is the magic of the wide open spaces of Haute Maurienne Vanoise.
