Need a breath of fresh air? Climb up to the Beaune and Thyl mountain pastures, where the first marmots are waiting for you.
With electric assistance, you won't even feel the twists and turns, and you'll soon find yourself at over 2,000 meters, surrounded by the alpine chalets that keep the valley's inhabitants and shepherds happy. Enjoy the panoramic view of the Écrins glaciers. Concentrate on the Aiguilles d'Arves on the horizon: you'll see them line up as you go along, until they become one.
