Description

Itinerary :
1 - From the Tourist Office, cross the snow front to the covered stairs. Go down the stairs, cross the road and join the downhill track.
2 - At the next intersection, take the path on the left, which rises slightly. Continue as far as the wooden footbridge that crosses the Garney stream.
3 - At the next junction, climb left to reach the Plan Chaud plateau.
4 - Turn left up to the road. Follow the road for a few metres before taking the left-hand path. Cross the road a second time and continue to the Praz Rivier intersection.
5 - Cross the plateau in the opposite direction, then take the track down to the corner of the plateau, then turn left to go down to the Garney bridge. Cross the bridge and head up towards Le Corbier.

Good to know:
From the Plan Chaud, you can see the hamlets and village of Villarembert. You'll be crossing alpine pastures, so keep your dogs on a leash and close the fences. If the animals escape, they could injure themselves.
You can return to La Toussuire on the free Le Corbier - La Toussuire shuttle train (timetable and information at the Tourist Office).
