Description of the route
Leave the car in the parking near the “Chantorné” chairlift (open in in the winter season), take the dirt road near the restaurant Les Montagnards and follow the path also called Tour des alpages.
The first part is fast flat through a prairie, then into the wood until a very panoramic point with wonderful view on the valley and on the village of Torgnon. At the end you will see some alps, the first is called Les Chavannes, then Arpeilles and then at the top you will see Chatelard. In some panoramic points you will find benches and pic-nic tables.
It is possible to go further on for around 2500 metres and you will reach the Lodetor swamp or you can leave the path and walk up for around 20 minutes to the Gordzà lake.
