Les Deux Alpes

Ski de randonnée depuis le Plan du Lac

There are few routes for these valleys from Bourg d'Arud or Plan du Lac, but the one suggested below, a little long to get to, will reward you with everything that makes it charming: wild beauty, secret valleys, few tracks... what are we waiting for?
HIKING SUGGESTION
> Classic day itinerary:
– Vallon de Lanchâtra, Col des Berches (2936 m) + 1770 m
To get there you will first have to walk a long flat path in the shade, a little austere but the reward is there: a hidden, secret and wild valley, a pass not so easy to access depending on the conditions but of unparalleled beauty.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
> Where to stock up: Bars, restaurants and local products in Venosc. Bar/restaurant in St-Christophe en Oisans
> Where to sleep: Hotels, furnished accommodation and gîtes in Venosc. Gîtes and rooms in St-Christophe en Oisans.

VENEON SECTOR
Once you enter the Vénéon Valley, you will be enchanted for life... It is a real hiking gem. The possibilities are immense and the beauty of the place will sometimes make you snowplough on the way down in order to better enjoy the landscapes...
Homeland of Father Gaspard, the victor of the Meije In 1877, the valley offers a rugged appearance with a tender heart that must be sought after by taking one's time. Once the legendary Bérarde road opens, the day possibilities multiply like the famous hotcakes and end late with high-altitude itineraries.
As for the possibilities from a refuge, they are simply endless. Here we offer you ideas to try without moderation, but you will see, ski touring in the Vénéon is like peanuts: once you start, you can't stop. So you can also invent your own sequences, decline an outing over several days, in a star from one of the Vénéon refuges, in a raid... in short, the spatulas quiver as soon as you enter the homeland of Father Gaspard.

/!\ IMPORTANT
Ski touring is a risky activity under the responsibility of each practitioner. Follow the ANENA safety instructions: anena.org
