Le Ski de Randonnée
Presentation
Nestled on the Maurienne side of the Belledonne massif, the Vallée des Villards has long been a popular destination for ski tourers. Above its authentically preserved hamlets, 60 original itineraries invite skiers and snowboarders of all levels to explore the upper reaches of the snow-covered valleys from winter to spring. The Vallée des Villards is just waiting to be discovered!
Very popular itineraries in the Combe du Merlet.
This combe, skiable from mid-December to the end of April, is exposed east then north-east in the Villonnet area, exposed south-east in the Col du Merlet and exposed south in the Col de la Lavoire. The Combe du Merlet also provides access to several excellent north-facing technical couloirs, including Le Vallurin and those of Le Natey, as well as more accessible itineraries such as La Brèche de la Passoire and the Col du Merlet.
