The following day, a hike with a private guide.
Departure in the early morning after breakfast.
Depending on your preferences and physical condition, your guide will suggest several levels of hikes.
From an easy walk on “le Sentier du Berger” to a longer, more demanding route such as “les Monts du Fût”.
It is also possible to arrange hikes in the Vanoise National Park, a hike across glacial terrain from Val Thorens, or discover local flora and fauna with a naturalist guide.
Depending on the hike chosen and its duration, a picnic lunch in the mountains or at a refuge.
