Tour of Méan Martin in 4 days - Stage 1 - From La Bâtisse gîte to Vallonbrun refuge

Enjoy a gentle warm-up on the Chemin du Petit Bonheur to the charming hamlet of Le Collet. Then set off on a slope that will scare you more than it hurts. Rock-cut steps, torrent crossings and lush green meadows are on the menu for this first day. Gradually gain altitude, and as you wind your way up the slope, you'll catch a glimpse of the Charbonnel, Râteau d'Aussois and Dent Parrachée, all facing each other. With a clear sky, you'll have the chance to gaze at these three emblematic peaks of Haute Maurienne Vanoise. It's enough to push you all the way to the Oratoire St-Antoine! The clarines that regularly enliven the mountain pastures announce your arrival at the Vallonbrun refuge. Who knows if you'll meet the marmots who call this place home?
