Closed

A wild route, bathed in lakes and scree, awaits you. Linking the Maurienne Valley, the Haut Val de Suze and the Clarée, this ancestral passageway promises you sumptuous panoramas.

DAY 5: Refuge des Drayères – Valmeinier
Duration: 7h / Elevation: +500 / -1000 m

For your last day, all you have to do is climb to the Seuil des Rochilles with its Lac Rond. After the lake, go towards the Col de la Plagnette to descend into the long cow that overlooks Valloire. Be careful not to go down too low, to be able to take the path that goes up to Pas des Griffes.
From Pas des Griffes, go down to the Chenalette car park in Valmeinier, passing under Lac Vert.
