Description

Set amidst the mountain pastures and landscapes of the Pays des Aiguilles d’Arves, this three-stage circuit offers a gradual immersion through valleys, ridges and forests.

The route alternates between pastoral tracks, balcony paths and ridge crossings, offering superb views of the Aiguilles d’Arves and the surrounding peaks. Amidst pastures, torrents, woodland and high-altitude areas, each stage reveals varied landscapes in a calm and pleasant atmosphere. Suitable for hikers accustomed to walking in the mountains, this route presents no major technical difficulties and allows you to discover an unspoilt area, punctuated by mountain pastures, refuges and traditional hamlets that dot the valley’s slopes.
