Presentation
Start with the sound of the torrent in the forest, and discover at the top a stunning panorama and an outstanding geological place, straddling between Courchevel, le Planay and the Vanoise
Outward route: Cross over towards the church. On your right, take the path that runs alongside the houses and descend towards the stream to join the road below. Cross the stream and follow the markings opposite, towards Bonneval/Dent du Villard.
Take the forest path which, after crossing a stream, climbs in tight hairpin bends, offering brief views of the Grand Bec, the Vuzelle, the Planay and the peaks of the Vanoise massif.
At the fork, turn left towards Bonneval. Cross a large area of gypsum erosion cones before arriving at the ruins of the Bonneval summer chalets.
Continue towards Col de la Chal/Dent du Villard.
Return route: Return via the same route.
Highlights of the route:
Discover one of the valley's must-see peaks, with its many facets and gypsum massif that creates a unique landscape. Exceptional flora in the summer months.
