Snowshoe Hike: Le Vanoise Express/Chanton
Les Coches
The path goes up through the larch forest and has a very beautiful views of the valley, Mont Blanc and the mountains of Beaufortain. A few old chalets recall a bygone age. Refreshments are available in the chalet restaurant at the entrance.
Departure from Montchavin: Take the free shuttle to the cable car up to the skating rink.
Departure from les Coches: Take the Telebufette sky lift (free) to the skating rink.
From the skating rink area, go to the ski school snow garden (P) and walk the length of the stone building. Pass under the ski lift and carefully cross the ski slope. The departure point is indicated by a sign. Go up into the forest, then go to the left (P). A wide road leads to some ruined chalets (P). Bear right and then turn towards some large wooden electricity poles (P). The route goes up a wide field of snow (P) to the stone houses of Chanton. The arrival is 100 metres higher up, near the Vanoise Express cable car.
This is a pleasant walk that can continue as far as Plan Peisey by taking the cable car. The return journey is by the same route.
Caution: When the snow is icy, walking may be difficult. Snowshoes are strongly recommended.
From 17/12/2022 to 22/04/2023.
