Hiking up to 3000m on Mont Thabor
Above Valfréjus, Mont Thabor rises to over 3,000 meters and remains accessible to all in summer, provided you're a good walker. You can start this emblematic hike directly from the heart of the resort or from the hamlet of Le Lavoir (accessible via a carriage track).
The route first follows the GR5 towards the Southern Alps, skirting the Italian border, crossing flower-filled alpine meadows, passing close to high-altitude lakes and geological curiosities, before reaching the summit in an almost lunar mineral atmosphere. Up there, the panorama is exceptional, with views of some of the most prestigious Alpine peaks: the Grandes Jorasses, the Matterhorn, the Grande Casse, Mont Viso...
Please note: although not technically difficult, this is a long hike (allow a very long day for the round trip). We recommend a two-day hike, with an overnight stay at the Thabor refuge (booking recommended).
On the final ascent, snow may persist until mid-July - check conditions before setting off.
Take on the via ferrata at Grand Vallon
Looking for a thrill? Try the via ferrata at Grand Vallon, an activity that makes climbing accessible to everyone. Equipped with a harness, helmet and lanyard, you progress in complete safety along a cable attached to the rock face. On the program: metal rungs, ladders, footbridges and even a Nepalese bridge, in a spectacular natural setting.
Traced through the gorges of the Grand Vallon torrent, this via ferrata brings you up close to a superb waterfall. A breathtaking experience! Free access to the via ferrata (equipment required), or with professional supervision for added peace of mind.
And if you're prone to vertigo, there's a pedestrian footbridge where you can watch the climbers without having to don your harness!
Resting by the stream
