This beautiful, mostly wooded route leads from the Chalet du Mélèze to the summit of La Chal and its cross. Overlooking the town of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne and offering superb views over the whole valley, this is an ideal spot for a well-deserved picnic in the sunshine.
Variant :
On the way back, 200 m after the Chalet du Mélèze, turn left into the meadow and head down towards Bergein. At the bend in the cross-country track, turn right and follow the Libertour stream to the Col du Chaussy: + 30 mins and + 65 m ascent compared with the original route.
