Beaufortain - Stage 6 - From the Refuge de la Coire to the Refuge des Arolles

Walk in the midst of mountains like the ones you dreamt of as a child, those that you used to draw before you'd ever seen them. With a rich palette of colours, from the green of alpine pastures to the turquoise of mountain lakes in which the eternal snows of Mont Blanc are mirrored.

Walk into the heart of the mountain of your childhood dreams, the one
that we draw without ever having seen it.

The palette of colors is generous, from the green of the pastures where the herds graze, to the turquoise of the high-altitude lakes where the eternal snows of Mont Blanc are reflected.

A real postcard, this tour of the Beaufortain invites you to discover an authentic terroir, from the flavors of its famous Beaufort to the traditional habitat of its villages clinging to the slopes.

6/ Once past Cormet d'Arêches, the trail descends towards Lac des Fées, then the Saint Guérin dam. Cross the dam, walk along the west bank of the lake, then take the path leading up to Grand Mont. After the chalets de Rognoux, the path turns right to reach the refuge de l'Alpage (accommodation available), then continues up the mountainside to Lac Tournant. Continue to the Arolles refuge.

Highlights: The magnificent Saint Guérin dam, particularly appreciated for its wildness. At the foot of the
Grand-Mont, make a final stop at crystal-clear Lac Tournant!
