The Alpage de Ritort and Péclet-Polset refuge

If you're looking for easy access to the high mountains, you've come to the right place!

Between the whistling of the marmots and the distinctive sound of the tarines' bells, you'll be accompanied all along your journey by a soundscape that fades as you gain height, giving way to the soothing silence of altitude.

The valley in which you're standing, an ancient salt route, is renowned for the production of Beaufort cheese in mountain pastures.

It's an easy route to the Peclet-Polset refuge, a welcome stopover (a tarte on the terrace is a must!) before setting down your bag on the shores of Lac Blanc, just a few steps away.

The silence is broken only by the cries of the bearded vulture or the tichodrome échelette above you. The Vanoise glaciers can be seen in the distance.

On the way back, take a break at the La Bergerie restaurant to continue the experience with a wood-fired raclette, a uniquely tasty specialty that's well deserved!
