From the wooden terrace of the Maison de Tignes (tourist information office), follow the building to the right to the trail that starts to the right of the Palafour ski lift.

During the climb from Tignes, enjoy discovering the valley of Peisey-Nancroix from the Col du Palet.

After gaining some height away from the Tignes resort, the landscape becomes quite rugged, but with a well-defined and signed route, and the prominent crag of Pointe du Chardonnet comes into view. The route at this point is one of the most beautiful in the Vanoise massif, walking through large areas of magnificent alpine pastures surrounded by spectacular peaks and the Grande Motte glacier.

This route crosses the Vanoise National Park's protected area. Check the regulations (flower picking, dogs, bivouac, activites, etc.) here: http://www.vanoise-parcnational.fr
