Description

The Clarée seen from above Hiking trip, level 3, in the Clarée valley with a guide

A star stay for hiking from lake to lake in the Clarée valley!

At the gates of Italian Piedmont, our all-inclusive hiking trip is an ideal way to discover the flora, fauna, lakes and alpine chalets of the Clarée valley.

Mid-level star hiking trip, you will return to the hotel every evening. You will then find the cozy comfort of our chalet and you can relax in our Spa.

 

THE PROGRAM FOR THE LEVEL 3 HIKING TRIP:

Panoramas, refuges, passes… wonderful landscapes every day!

  • Sunday: Reception at the hotel in the afternoon and installation.
  • Monday : The Muandes lakes from Laval
    They shaped our mountain landscape 50000-10000 years ago... these are the last great glaciers which left the trace of their passage: lakes, cirques, moraines and poli-glacial rocks shape the path of this first day of discovery.
    Picnic at lunchtime.
    Elevation gain: + and – 550m, 4 to 5 hours of walking.

  • Tuesday: The Col du Chardonnet and the Casse Blanche lakes
    In the Chardonnet alpine pasture, beyond the glacial lock, the surprise of a striking panorama will delight you: a “full eye” facing the legendary rock and ice giants of the Ecrins massif.
    A journey that will take place on GR or “off-trail”, in the footsteps of the history of an old graphite mine, in the wild space of the high altitude meadows and in the shimmer of the silver lakes on the borders of the mineral world.
    Picnic at lunchtime.
    Elevation gain: + and – 800m, 5 to 6 hours of walking.
  • Wednesday: The Thures valley and Lake Chavillon (optional: Lake Bellety)
    The Thures mountain pasture allows passage to the Vallée Etroite, where the Italian sounds smell of the singing accent and the history of formerly border territories.
    The forest climb takes place gradually and leads to a green hanging valley, a vast summer pasture for one of the valley's transhumant herds. A magical viewpoint welcomes you, in a setting of dolomitic mountains, facing the mythical summit of Thabor, great sentinel of the “Valle Stretta”, the panorama of the surrounding valleys and peaks reveals to you the very particular profile of our valley of the Clarée.
    Picnic at lunchtime.
    Elevation gain: + and – 600m, 4h30 to 5h walk.
  • Thursday : Lake Cristol (2245 m)
    We set off on foot from Névache to explore the neighboring Guisane Valley, with a short walk through the commune of St Chaffrey. Our hike today takes us through all the layers of mountain vegetation, from deciduous trees to conifers, ending in the alpine pastures at the foot of the Cristol lake. A short but magical traverse along a balcony path offers us a superb panorama of the village and the entrance to the upper Clarée Valley!
    Picnic at lunchtime.
    Elevation gain and loss: + and - 700m / Approximate walking time: 5 to 6 hours of walking.
  • Friday: Laramon Lake and Serpent Lake
    The pastoral space of the hamlet of Ricou opens access to the soothing calm of the mountain lakes: here, of the myriad lakes of the upper Clarée, two of the largest are available to us.
    The path rises gently in the heart of a 180° panorama over the Cerces massif, then over that of the Ecrins, towards the marine and emerald colors of these two superb lakes where one would happily come across fishermen or hikers " In the long term ".
    Picnic at lunchtime.
    Elevation gain: + and – 600m, 4h30 to 5h walk.
  • Saturday : end of stay after breakfast.
