Walking tour of the Bessans plain
Bessans

Are you ready to faithfully follow the Arc river?
On your way along the Chemin du Petit Bonheur, you're sure to want to stop
for a family picnic. Get yourself comfortably settled at a banquet table... It
seems to have been waiting for your "gnia"* to stop here for a feast.
Under the watchful eye of the imposing Tierce peak, you continue your
journey through the heart of the meadows. Can you see its chapel, perched
at 2,973 meters?
And, with your gaze forever glued to the landscape, it takes just a few seconds
before you spot the breathtaking waterfalls on the south side. Unrestrained,
they cascade down from the glaciers of Vallonbrun and Gefret at the heart
of the Vanoise National Park. In early summer, you won't be able to take
your eyes away from the sight.
Then, in the forest of Chantelouve, you might come across some squirrels,
fearful at the passage of adventurous mountain bikers.
Before you get to the village, Le Ribon invites you to new hikes. Next time,
that's a promise…
To guide you in the field, consult the "step-by-step" directional diagram provided in pdf.
