It's almost like dining at a top restaurant. Well, all the ingredients are there! Our secret local recipe requires two essential elements: the highest summit of Haute Maurienne Vanoise (Charbonnel - 3752 metres), and one suspended glacier. Add a sprinkling of mountain villages - the hamlets of La Goulaz, Les Vincendières and Avérole - and moisten with the Avérole mountain stream. Decorate with the refuge of the same name. A feast for the senses! Bon appétit!
