Mt. Chevrier

1. At the end of the hamlet of Les Granges, from the Les Clous car park, follow the forest track which rises on the edge of the forest.
2. Higher up, the path intersects the crest of the avalanche tower in the hamlet of Les Granges. It is a high earth dike built to protect the last houses of the hamlet by channeling and deflecting the avalanches which descend from the Col de Leschaux.
3. The route then leaves the bottom of the structure to turn to the left and cross the Rossets corridor.
4. Then a few bends in a small steep and narrow valley allow you to come out on the plateau.
5. From this beautiful belvedere, the panorama opens onto the ice cap of the Dômes de la Vanoise, the gaze then slides over the Pralognan basin and the Chavière valley which stretches to the south for 13 km. You have to go west to discover the Dent du Villard in sugar loaf bristling on its side with avalanche racks as well as the astonishing ridge of Mont Charvet which separates the valley of Pralognan from that of Courchevel.
Do not hesitate to stroll on this evocative plateau of wide open spaces where the flight of a small grouse may surprise you.
6. The descent (1 h 15) is done by the same path.

VARIANTS
6. From Mont Chevrier, you can descend (to the north) to the hamlet of La Novaz via the Allée chalets or reach the Grand Bec refuge via the Bois des Fours. This second solution corresponds to the first stage of a two-day hike which consists of spending the night at the refuge and returning the next day to Pralognan via the Col de Leschaux.
