Presentation
Villages of alpine pastures inhabited during the summer months : definitively a charming trail.
Outward route: Cross the village to Saint Barthélémy Chapel. On the right, take the path towards La Rochette/Le Mollard/Plan Fournier.
Leave the village and follow the markings across the pastures, crossing the road twice before turning left onto the path. Pass in front of the rock sheltering a statue of the Virgin Mary to reach La Rochette.
At the entrance to the hamlet, turn right onto the path leading up through the meadows. This will take you to Le Mollard. Continue following the signs for Pélapoët/Plan Fournier.
The path climbs through a forest of spruce trees before opening onto a meadow announcing Plan Fournier.
Then take the path that passes under the cross. Descend via a wide path towards La Golle.
After passing a large rock, the forest path narrows, crosses a small stream and leads to the La Golle clearing.
Leave the house on your right and descend a wider path; on the right, take a small path towards Le Mollard / La Rochette.
From there, take the same path back to Chambéranger.
Highlights of the route:
Discover charming summer villages that have retained their traditional charm, reflecting the mountain life of yesteryear and the agricultural and pastoral traditions that shaped the landscape and followed the rhythm of the seasons.
Discover Plan Fournier and its superb panorama of the Vanoise.
