Hiking itinerary : Le Bief

Les Coches

Description

In the shade of fir and spruce trees, retrace the route of this ancient "Bief", imagining the ingenuity our parents of yesteryear used to bring water from the torrents to the mountains.
A little history: the bief could be dug out of the earth and rock, or made of wooden planks supported by beams fixed to the mountainside.
You can see some of these on another trail, "Montchavin-Les Coches par Praz Salvard".
REMINDER: our dog friends must be kept on a leash in the ski area, especially around Plan Bois and on sled dog outings.

Guidebook with maps/step-by-step

1/ From there, go off to the right to Crévaillet and after 2 hairpin bends you will come to a large clearing, the starting point for a themed walk (information table (P)).

3/ From there, you can return to Les Coches on a small asphalt road, going past the Vanoise Express towards Orgère
If you continue on the trail
4/You can also keep on walking towards Fontaine Froid and then along a forest track ahead of you, leaving the path that climbs to the hamlet of Les Bauches where there are other lovely walks to enjoy.
5/ In this case, you take the same route back to Le Chanton.
