A tradition of simple and sincere welcome, benevolent and greedy.
On the way back down, a stop at the Romanesque church of Saint-Pierre d'Extravache is a must. Founded in the 2nd century by two disciples of Saint-Pierre, it is considered to be the first place of Christianity in Savoie. The apse preserves the traces of a fresco from the beginning of the 17th century: a Christ in Majesty surmounting a representation of the apostles.
The view of the Vanoise National Park, the Dent Parrachée (3,697m) and the Vanoise glaciers is superb.
The atmosphere is stress-free, relaxing and off the beaten track in a green and authentic landscape.
0/ : From the Saint-Pierre d'Extravache car park, take the flat track continuing towards Plan Clôte.
1/ : Take on the left the path which goes up through the forest leading to the chalets of Bramanette (refuge, overnight stays, restaurant).
2/: Return: take the same path to the edge of the forest, and turn right towards Pré Maudru. Follow the path which goes down in the forest and joins the track (turn left) which goes down towards the church.
3/: Alternative return: a few dozen metres below the old refuge, take the path towards Montbas. At the Montbas mountain pastures, follow the path that goes down into the forest and joins the track (turn left) that goes back down towards the church.
From 15/06 to 15/10.
Subject to favorable snow and weather conditions.
