Alpage du Vallon walking tour

A quick warm-up along Chemin du Petit Bonheur brings you to the start of your adventure from the village of Bessans. Looking up, you can already guess that the journey will occasionally involve a bit of effort. But the ascent remains gradual and you're inspired by the presence of the majestic Charbonnel. From its height of 3,752 metres, the peak seems to watch your progress along the path leading to Vallon d'en Haut. This cosy nest snuggles into the mountainside between the peaks of Bonneval and Bessans. A few stops later, with views that take your breath away, it's safe to say you've earned the status of an aspiring mountain enthusiast. Prolong the pleasure with an unforgettable tasting experience at the Panino Inn... Come on! Push ahead just a bit further: a few steps more than you originally planned, and you'll get to meet locals who love their land and its produce. Sébastien and his family manufacture their own specialties of yogurt, country pies, and traditional Beaufort cheese. Pure taste sensations!
