Access

From the spa resort of La Léchère-les-Bains, head towards Notre-Dame-de-Briançon. When you arrive at the village, turn left and cross the railway line, then head towards the Col de la Madeleine. After several turns, turn right towards Pussy and go up to the Bellacha gîte.

Itinerary

Itinerary starting from the village of Pussy (738 m) which targets all hikers including active families with children because this fairly short loop does not present any major difficulty.

Appreciate the diversity of landscapes with views of the Tarentaise valley, Beaufortain, Vanoise and the Lauzière massif which overlooks the village of Pussy.

From the car park, cross the pretty village of Pussy and pass the church. After walking through the hamlet of La Croix, enter the pleasant meadows above the village.

Then enjoy a little shade on a section in the undergrowth via a small path then a comfortable path. Reach the highest point of the loop by crossing the Pussy torrent. The descent back to the village will be quite rapid through the meadows, then crossing the hamlet of Pierres.
