So far away, so close to Lanslebourg, enjoy a historic link to Termignon. Overlook the Arc valley and discover a sunny balcony with a Mediterranean feel, linking two villages in the heart of Haute Maurienne.
Need a short getaway? Looking for a flexible route? The departure point of the Mandes circuit offers privileged access to the Genevraz woods from "les Côtes". Under the whistle of the first spring marmots, enjoy the warmth of the sun as soon as the sun comes out. Stroll through a pine forest of fragrant sylvestre trees, watching for anthills ...... Perched on your left, the Col du Mont Cenis gives you an idea of the high mountain atmosphere.
Enter the denser woodland and follow the well-trodden path past the Fontaniou stream, often crowded during the snowmelt. The crossroads of the paths testify to the richness of the area: there are so many walks to be had between Pré Chamois and Belvédère! But make no mistake, your destination for the day takes you straight to the heart of the village of Termignon.
You'll need a little vigilance to reach a small rocky ledge and, in the space of a breath, cross the tarmac road. Facing the Dent Parrachée, the descent will delight the contemplative.
Take advantage of the Chemin du petit bonheur to return to Lanslebourg in the cool of the fir trees. Or would you prefer to take the bus back? Anything goes on this "à la carte" route!
From 15/05 to 15/10 daily.
Subject to favorable snow and weather conditions.
