05 - versant du soleil

The "Versant du Soleil" side of the valley is lined with unspoilt villages. Opposite, you will see the giant resorts of La Plagne and Les Arcs, lying in the shadows of the Sommet de Bellecôte and Mont Pourri. Return leg along the Tarentaise greenway.

06 - col du petit saint-bernard

One of the most pleasant high passes to climb. Thanks to the even gradient and the flat hairpins, the ascent never feels too strenuous, even though the summit is above 2000 m. Exceptional views of the glaciated summits of the Vanoise.

68 - la boucle des villages

The circuit begins with the moderately easy switchbacks on the road to the Col du Petit-St-Bernard. It then traverses across the sunny side of the valley, opposite the resort of Les Arcs.
