Discover an emblematic trail in Haute Maurienne Vanoise.
The backbone of the region, it takes you on an unforgettable journey. Every step of the way, you'll find unusual experiences to delight young and old alike.

From Modane to the hamlet of l'Ecot, 50km of valley-bottom track, alternating between typical villages and moments in the heart of nature.
As you progress, you gain altitude and follow the evolution of nature, from forests to alpine meadows at over 2000m, passing through the meadows around the villages. The route is always surrounded by peaks over 3000m.

In the summer of 2023, the Chemin du Petit Bonheur has taken on a new form. While the route of this ancestral trail has not changed and continues to link Modane to the hamlet of l'Écot over a distance of 50 km, the path itself has been adorned with new colors, new facilities and atypical proposals.

At first, you're carried away by this luminous yellow, the color painted on the ends of footbridges, bridges and logs. Color takes on the role of guide, indicating where you've come from and where you're going.
