collar of Chavière (2796m) in loop by the Orgère

Preparation before the Grand Paradis (in 15 days!); starting from the Orgère valley (1/2h from the chalet), high mountain atmosphere with a difference in level which is imposed from the start but this hike by making a detour by the lake of the Part (2450m) is beautiful and easy with an alternation of strong slopes and false flats. The reward at the pass with a breathtaking panorama on both sides of the Maurienne/Tarentaise in the heart of the Vanoise park.

Top of Carro (3289m)

2 days hike for our last preparation to the Grand Paradis. Departure from the Oulietta bridge (Iseran pass road) to reach the Carro refuge by the magnificent GR in balcony. The next day, departure at 5am to escape the announced storms direction the foot of the col des pariotes then we fork on the glacier of the derrière les lacs to pass under the uja to join the col du Carro then the Cime du Carro (3289m). Direct descent on the refuge of Carro to join the Ecot in bottom of valley.
