Description de l'itinéraire

Made famous by the Prince of Wales, who completed this loop himself, it will offer you a superb view of Mont Blanc from the Col des Aravis. For the return trip, you will take the Ugine–Annecy greenway.
Route direction: clockwise.

Poulette's advice

You’ll probably have little desire to linger at the top of the Col des Aravis (1,498 m), often crowded with people milling about among a multitude of stalls. Still, don’t miss the view of Mont Blanc before heading into Savoie!
