Nights in mountain huts to enjoy the sunrises and sunsets!

ITINERARY :

Day 1: Le Clot > L'Alpe du pin

From the parking lot in the hamlet of Le Clot, head towards Alpe du Pin and cross the Le Clot bridge. The path winds through the coniferous forest to Les Granges. From here it's a 1h15 climb to the refuge, refreshed by the spray of the Froide Pisse waterfall.

Day 2: L'alpe du Pin > La Lavey

From the Alpe du Pin refuge, head for the Mariande valley and follow the path through the pastures to the Clot intersection.
At the next intersection, follow the Gassaudia. After a good descent through the forest, follow Pont des Rajats/Vallon de la Lavey to reach the refuge de la Lavey.

Day 3: Refuge de la Lavey > Lac des bèches > Le Clot

From the refuge, continue along the bottom of the Muande valley to join the path leading up to Lac des Béches, a good climb with a superb panorama on arrival.
Return to the refuge and continue your descent to the footbridge well beyond, which you must cross to continue on the right bank to reach the Pont des Rajats, a small, beautiful stone bridge overlooking the Vénéon and its turquoise waters.
Retrace your steps to the intersection with Le Clot, which you follow this time to the hamlet of Le Clot.

Remember to book your nights in the refuge in advance.
The wardens will be happy to serve you comfort food and answer any questions you may have about your itinerary.
