Orgère discovery trail on foot

Villarodin-Bourget

Orgère Discovery Trail
Office de Tourisme HMV
Description

As the whole family ventures onto this easy path, the valley's very own song
welcomes you: this place is home to tits, crickets, and other wild inhabitants.
Some of you may decide to hang out with Benoît sheep on the valley floor;
others, to go down on the path that leads to the stream and play around
on the way back to the Orgère refuge. And for those who prefer a terraced
route, just a few loops will take you uphill to enjoy a breathtaking view of
the valley amidst the majestic Arolla pine trees of Haute Maurienne Vanoise.
Handsomely decked out in dark gray scale-like bark, these trees proudly
colonise the slope, sending out resinous fragrances as the sun warms their
backs. Guess the size of the largest trunk you'll come across!
And who knows, you might just be greeted by the spotted nutcracker in this
Arolla orchard, so typical of alpine high-altitude forests... But what's this bird,
who seems so fond of pine cones, in the midst of all these Arolla pines?
