For experienced hikers: the lakes of Mont Coua
It's a demanding but unforgettable hike. The lakes of Mont Coua, perched at an altitude of between 2,520 and 2,820 metres, are revealed at the end of a 7-hour itinerary (20.4 km, 1,160 m D+) in a spectacular mineral setting.
A succession of water mirrors nestling in the heart of the mountains, far from the crowds, where silence and light do their work.
Here's a tip: divide the hike into two days, with a night at the Saut refuge, to savour the alpine atmosphere and take a break in the heart of the peaks.
For lovers of panoramic views: the Aiguille du Fruit tour
Chiselled between Méribel and CourchevelThe Aiguille du Fruit (3,051m) dominates the landscape with its slender silhouette.
From the arrival of the Pas du Lac cable car, a balcony path follows the ridges towards the Col du Fruit, offering breathtaking views of the two valleys. The route, which is for fit walkers only, has some challenging sections, but is still accessible with good shoes and a bit of breath.
After crossing the pass, the descent is a tight winding descent to the Plagne plateau, then on to the Plan de Tuéda to complete the loop. A complete hike, rich in sensations and grandiose views.
