Description

The 6th stage of the Aiguilles d'Arves tour. You'll set off from the Aiguilles d'Arves refuge to reach the hamlet of Albanne, passing through the village of Valloire. This varied, mainly downhill hike is difficult because of its length.
The Tour des Aiguilles d'Arves, a hiking trail between Savoie and Hautes-Alpes, takes you on a wilderness adventure, immersing you in a succession of high-altitude passes, panoramic ridges and flower-filled mountain pastures grazed by numerous herds of cattle, goats and sheep.

This interdepartmental itinerary, dedicated to the very best mountain hikers, combines history and trade, wars and peddlers, between the former State of Savoy and the Kingdom of France. On these ancient paths steeped in history, these slopes and ridges, cross the border! To activate geolocation, click on the map icon.
