Unveil Saint-bon-tarentaise with Fahrenheit Seven Courchevel

This snowshoe hike goes through an unspoiled setting and leads to a magnificent site: Lake Rosière.

This high-altitude path is a downhill trail providing a magnificent panorama over the Dent du Villard and the surrounding mountains.

Leaving from Courchevel Moriond, this downhill trail will take you to the heart of the unspoilt forest of Courchevel and contact with well-preserved nature. Watch out for hard snow or even iced snow in the forest, according to weather conditions.

A lovely descent through snow-covered meadows, taking you to see the oldest tree in the Forêt de Courchevel: the silver fir tree. From Courchevel Tourisme, go down the stairs to reach the Vieux Moriond. After a steep descent between the houses, cross the road and follow straight on to La Corbière, amid the snow-covered meadows. In the hamlet, continue to go downhill on the trail that goes into the forest. At the first hairpin bend, you can discover the Silver Fir tree (a few metres away, on a flat ground). Back on the trail, follow your descent, pass a second hairpin turn then, on the straight section, go on a small path on the left. Follow this track until you reach a crossroad, then go right. A few turns further, you will reach the Rosière lake trail (from this point, it is possible to join the loop). Turn left to reach the former sawmill and La Jairaz (by the same road, it possible to continue this itinerary to Saint-Bon). The itinerary is easy but the snow may be hard or icy in the forest, depending on conditions.

THE "MONTAGNETTES" What is a “montagnette”? It is a stopover (at an altitude of 1400-1800m) occupied for a few weeks in spring and autumn when taking the herd up to the mountain pasture and back down again. Families brought their livestock from the village to the mountain pasture to graze depending on the grass. Every family on the “montagnette” had what they needed to live on and make cheese whilst having a link to the village. When spring came, residents of the Saint-Bon hamlets “moved” to the mountains. Over the summer they made numerous journeys to and from the top and bottom of the village for farm work (hay, harvest). Discover the old montagnettes of Saint-Bon by walking between Courchevel MOriond and Courchevel Village. Le Vieux Moriond, Le Petit Moriond, Les Provères, Les Grangettes, Les Rois, Les Brigues, Le Lételé, La Choulière, Montgela, La Corbière etc. Aren’t these names funny? Most of them are names of parts of Courchevel Village and Courchevel Moriond and also place names. They have one thing in common: they form what was known as Les Montagnettes de Saint-Bon. Some have become part of the resort’s urban fabric: Vieux Moriond and Petit Moriond in Courchevel Moriond, and Les Provères, Les Grangettes, Les Rois, Les Brigues and Le Lételé in Courchevel Village. La Choulière, Montgela and La Corbière have kept their distance from tourist development. Uphill or downhill walk which you can do both ways with a shuttle bus return journey.

This route combining resort ski slopes and a much wilder side takes you through two completely different settings. You'll begin by climbing the Courchevel's resort slopes and continue steadily on up a wide mountain pasture track as far as Col de la Platta (altitude of 2,408m) not far from Vanoise National Park. Then you'll cross over to the wild side and head down via the "secret" valley dotted with flatter areas.Follow the red waymarks: Les Avals.E-bike rental shops : Izibike Courchevel Moriond 17 rue de l'Aiguille du Fruit73120 Saint-Bon-Tarentaise+33 (0)6 35 10 75 09 Espace VTTCroisette Courchevel 185073120 Courchevel+33 (0)6 18 08 18 41

This original itinerary offers two very different atmospheres, one in the heart of Courchevel's mountain pastures, the other wilder in a secret valley at the gateway to the Vanoise National Park. You reach the Platta pass (2,408 m) via a pretty alpine track. From here, you switch to the wild side of the mountain, where you'll find flat spots for picnics along a small trail, and a few typical farmhouses along the way. Variant option (VAE.7'): Return trip to Col des Saulces from Plan de la Sah: 6km / 300m D+.

NOTRE-DAME DES NEIGES CHAPEL: The chapel was built in 1650 at the request of Saint-Bon’s priest: Pierre Pachod. Most of the sanctuaries consecrated to Notre-Dame des Neiges are at altitude (this one is at 1570m) to provide shelter from avalanches. The saint is supposed to protect the harvest by stopping the snow from falling before the harvest has been collected. The saint also protects chalets, herds and mountain pastures. The chapel has statues of Saint-Claude, Saint-Guérin and Saint-Roch. Notre-Dame des Neiges is very popular in Savoie and the saint’s day is on August 5th. Courchevel Moriond residents still celebrate the village fête over the weekend.

Courchevel Moriond has a second chapel devoted to Sainte Blandine (consecrated in 1953 and rebuilt in 1973 in a modern style). Its interior has an old mission crucifix which once stood in Le Biol in the Vallon des Avals.
