Hike to the Vallonbrun refuge

Lanslevillard

Refuge de Vallonbrun Haute Maurienne
OT HMV
Description

You may be wondering why the lower part of your itinerary appeals to via ferrata enthusiasts. As soon as you step onto the path, the ridges start to unfold before your watchful eyes. This is a dream spot for climbing activities. The highlight of your ascent takes you through rhododendrons, wild blueberry bushes, and steppe moorland. You're in a marmots' paradise and they're keeping a close eye on you. Skipping between burrows incessantly, they incite you to often stop and watch them, so that the ascent feels like no effort at all. When the snow melts, the mountain echoes with the sound of torrents. Keep your eyes peeled and you might spot a few chamois coming down to find food, when the high-altitude cirques are still adorned with snow. As you pass the charming St-Antoine chapel, it seems to celebrate your arrival. A few steps more and you can treat yourself to a delicious food stop at Vallonbrun refuge. Allow yourself to dream of a multi-day adventure. Maybe next time?
