The Garde Chasse loop in winter

Le Corbier

A challenging hike offering a wide variety of landscapes: forests, hamlets and vast panoramas follow one another along the way.

Description

"Opposite the snow front at the Tourist Office, turn left towards the bottom of the resort. At the Voie Lactée chairlift ticket office, take the street on the right below the GOELIA - Les Alpages du Corbier residence. Turn right into Rue du Cruet, then immediately right into the embankment. Walk up to the Saut piste, skirt it on the left, then turn left to arrive below the Mont Corbier chairlift and the Buddha ski restaurant. Follow a narrow path into the combe des Arvins, which joins the Lièvre piste. Follow it to the left, then turn left to reach the Col d'Arves.
From the pass, descend to the left towards La Baye. Continue along the track, then turn right to descend to a stream, cross it and arrive at the Œillette picnic area. From here, take the path down into the woods past the barbecues on the right.
At the next crossroads, turn right onto a path that joins a track. Turn left to take the track downhill. Cross a stream and climb up to La Tigny on the track and then on a road. Continue straight ahead on the road, then turn right 100 m after the bridge. Pass the bread oven, then cross the road at the Mairie (town hall). At a bend in the road, take the path that climbs to the left to Les Fromentières. Turn right onto the road, then left to reach Les Crevasses. At the end of the hamlet, take the path that joins the Plan Chaud itinerary. Cross the plateau, take a downhill path, then continue on the right-hand track. Cross the stream on a footbridge, then return to Corbier on the track that runs above the riding school."
