Panorama Dent Parrachée

Highlight • Other

On this small balcony path, the Dent Parrachée and its 3,697 meters open up to you. Take the time to breathe and admire this majestic painting, typical of Vanoise and its mountains.

Col de la Masse

Highlight • Mountain Pass

At the Col de la Masse, the ascent to the Rateau d'Aussois branches off. However, the path tracks quickly get lost in the rocky terrain and the countless cairns that are spread over the mountain flank are no help either.
