Thematic path of the Morel

Thematic path of the Morel

Come to discover the fabulous story of the Morel torrent! During a fun hike, the story of this natural heritage is told to the walkers. In the prayers of the Tarentaise, it was said in the past: "My God, preserve me from the waters of the Morel, from Mandrin and his henchmen". Today the Morel is a peaceful mountain stream, one of the wonders of the Alps, according to connoisseurs. Along its banks, tourists and locals alike stroll to enjoy the coolness of its waterfalls and shady paths. However, for centuries, it was one of the most formidable torrents in Savoie. Men had to deploy ardour and ingenuity to protect themselves from the future ravages of this torrent. Have you heard of the secret weapon, a colossal 1 km long structure that men built to try to overcome the Morel? Some of them lost their lives to protect their own! This is the incredible story that you will discover through the account of Pierre and his grandfather Augustin. The story of a torrent that has become a wonder, and was once the scourge of the Aigueblanche Valleys! This "told" path offers 10 "discovery stations" with commentary. Respectful of the environment, the Communauté de Commune des Vallées d'Aigueblanche wanted a site in perfect harmony with its natural surroundings: eco-design of the educational material (interpretation aids, signposting, etc.) and the leisure furniture (tables, benches, etc.). From the Bellecombe bridge walk 500m with a 30m difference in height to the picnic area. From the picnic area to the waterfall, walk 800m with a difference in height of 80m.

Les coteaux d'Aigueblanche - B12

An accessible route without major technical difficulty to explore the hills of Aigueblanche. The modest elevation allows occasional walkers and active families to cover it for half a day. Half of the route is through undergrowth, and the other half on open paths exposed to the sun through meadows and orchards. On leaving the village of Grand-Coeur, the route branches off to the left and takes a very pleasant little path in the undergrowth. You then cross a meadow area by a wider path, offering beautiful views of the Tarentaise valley. On the opposite slope, you can see the Morel valley and its 82m waterfall, as well as the Black Horse (2,832m) which dominates it. You then reach the village of Villoudry (720 m) which you cross to re-enter a sector alternating meadows and undergrowth. After a few stretches of road, interspersed with passages on small paths, you reach the highest point of the loop: the Baroque church of Villargerel (845 m), a listed historic monument. You then retrace your steps to the exit of Villargerel, then turn left towards Villoudry. A pleasant path in the undergrowth leads you to Bellevue (600 m). Be careful, you cross the road several times. You then reach Sous les Granges (510 m), and follow the departmental road for 300 meters passing under the national road. You branch off to the right before crossing the bridge on the railway track and follow it via a small road. After passing the Plan du Truy (460 m), you return to Grand Coeur by the Chemin des Vignes from which you observe ancient terraces dedicated to vines and several sartots (small sheds) which were formerly used by the farmers of the hillside.

Au Fil de L'Eau - B23

A valley bottom course along the water and in the undergrowth ideal for families and on hot days. This 12 km loop is suitable for all types of hikers. The fairly low elevation allows beginners, children and trained walkers to discover various environments in an Alpine valley. The route follows a few small sections of road but the majority of the hike takes place in the forest and at the water's edge. The loop begins at the Aigueblanche bridge (450m) and takes a well laid out and flat path along the Isère where a few benches are installed. Bird watching is quite common. You can also start the hike from the spa resort of La Léchère, or from the Morel swimming pool in Aigueblanche At the confluence with the Morel torrent, the route branches off to the left via a small undergrowth path along the numerous waterfalls that mark out this tumultuous stream. You cross the departmental road for the first time. At the Bellecombe bridge, after a second road crossing, you can continue on your choice on the 2 banks of the Morel. A botanical trail on your left, or an interpretation trail on the Morel facilities on your right. There is a picnic area on the left path. A belvedere (610m) allows the end of the path, on each bank, to admire the Morel Waterfall, falling more than 80 meters high. From the path on the right, walkers will then access via a small path to a beautiful panorama (625m) over the village of Saint-Oyen and the lower Tarentaise. Please note, this portion is also frequented by downhill mountain bikes. Then, begin the crossing of Saint-Oyen before diving into the forest which leads to the Bois Chaniet site by a small path in the shade and during which it is possible to observe various animals, ungulates, birds or insects for the luckiest or the most observant. Chemin du Bois Chaniet then offers other botanical signs. It is also possible to observe vestiges of vine terraces today partially covered by vegetation. Workout-type workshops also mark the trail. A gentle descent makes it possible to reach the edge of the Isère which the walkers will follow while crossing the Thermal Park of La Léchère-les-Bains. All that remains is to return to the Aigueblanche bridge by the Berges de l'Isère path, via the Morel swimming pool and the wooden walkway over the Morel torrent. The loop can be done in both directions and is also practiced in trail. Environment: deciduous forest, waterfront Points of interest: forest environment, wildlife observation, thermal baths of La Léchère-les-Bains, Morel waterfalls, panoramas on the lower Tarentaise. Total distance: 12 km (10 km if variant without the banks of the Isère) Elevation + total: 250 m Estimated duration: 3h30 to 4h00

Historical Center of Moûtiers

Historical Center of Moûtiers

Discover the historic center of Moûtiers: its pedestrian street and its shops, the medieval streets, the squares, the old bridge, the old archbishop's palace, the cathedral ... Visits for groups on request or free visits all year round. During the visit you will discover one of the emblematic sites of the city. The old bridge or Saint-Pierre bridge built in 1785 and classified as a Historic Monument since 1980. It is the oldest bridge in the city. It already existed in Roman times. Very often rebuilt due to the heavy floods of Isère in the 18th century in particular. Below, you will see a passage called barrioz that the washerwomen used to do their laundry. These barrioz were closed in the evening by barriers (hence their name) in order to avoid unwanted intrusions into the city from the banks. This circuit will reveal many other curiosities linked to the history of the city. For the little story : Moûtiers, known as Darantasia in the Roman era, was the historical capital of the Tarentaise (IIès). At the crossroads of the Valleys and located on the old Roman road linking Milan to Vienna (38), the town was often frequented by pilgrims on their way to visit the tombs of the apostles in Rome, as well as by merchants and soldiers. Home to what is now a thousand-year-old cathedral, Moûtiers had a bishop right from the 5th century, when the bishops became archbishops before being awarded the honorific title of ‘Comte de Tarentaise’in the Middle Ages. A major religious centre, the town’s name doubtless comes from“Monsaterium”: the word for the collected spaces of the cathedral, archbishop’s palace and cloisters. Guided tours are organized by the Savoie-Mont-Blanc Heritage Guides for groups. Guided tours are organized in summer.
