Walking tour of La Turra

Here's a taste of the Vanoise glacier tour!

As soon as you set foot on this neatly terraced GRP® hike, your eyes are

irresistibly drawn to the endless ridges that climb up up to Pointe de Bellecôte,

on the Mont Froid. And if the weather goes your way, you might even spot the

Meije, the Aiguilles d'Arves and the Écrins majestically rising up on the horizon.

Enough daydreaming?! The bleating of the herds echoes all through the

alpine pasture.

And when you get to La Turra, who knows what you'll find in the sky? The

cliffs here are highly prized by aerial sports enthusiasts due to the very unique

updraft of warm air they produce. Birds of prey and bearded vultures also

delight in this exceptional "thermal" all year round. Impossible to say which

of these flying creatures will show up today...

And if you have the privilege of being led by a mountain guide, don't miss

your chance to fully take in the magic of the place: head over to the "moon

hole", a remarkable rocky arch, to admire the view of the Râteau d’Aussois.
