From the gypsum of the Grande Rochette to the Swiss stone pine forest in Plagne Centre, this circuit takes you into the world of the natural riches and history of La Plagne.
Thanks to the orientation table and the extensive views, you can enjoy the most beautiful panoramas of the Vanoise, the Mont Blanc massif and the Beaufortain.
Your walk will be enhanced by the information boards on the environment around you (on the themes of fauna, flora, history, geology, etc.). Fun equipment is available for everyone and there is a picnic area with tables looking to Mont Blanc.
The Funiplagne-Grande Rochette gondola is running 11 July to 20 August on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, as well as Wednesday 7 July and Wednesday 25 August.
