Discover a superb viewpoint of the Beaufortain and Vanoise massifs from the top of Roche de Janatan.
From 01/01 to 31/12 daily.

At the Chapieu parking lot, look for a small trail along the water’s edge and a large rock that serves as a landmark.

2/ At the “Quatre Chemins” sign, continue straight ahead toward La Roche de Janatan (1 hr 30 min).
3/ Follow the cairns and the signs for “La Bagnaz.” Hike up the slope, keeping well to the right.
4/ The Roche de Janatan cross will appear on your right (you can reach it via a small trail through the rocks).
5/ Continue along the ridge leading to the “Pointe du Col,” then head to the Col de la Légette.
6/ At the Col de la Légette, cross the alpine pasture to reach the path visible on your right (marked by a chalet and a road open to vehicles).
7/ Descend via the Chalet des Mouilles, the “Boulissoir,” and the hamlet of La Pesée, then return to Le Chapieu.
