On this varied stage, you flirt with the neighboring Tarentaise region. The mineral atmosphere, enhanced by the torrent des fours, may be visited by a few shy chamois. There are plenty of late season névés around the Col de la Rocheure at 2900m altitude. After a rocky descent, take a contemplative break on the plan des fours before reaching the refuge. It looks like this little high-altitude jewel will be your privilege at the end of the day!(
