Hike to the mountain hut Le Mont pourri

Discover the "real life" of mountain people by talking to the Sévalière alpagistes who will tell you, if you are lucky enough to meet them, some anecdotes about this very special life. And it is surrounded by herds of heifers that you will progress even higher to reach the Mont Pourri refuge where you will have a panoramic view of the north face of Bellecôte and the summits of the Vanoise. From here, a bearded vulture high in the sky is not to be excluded, as well as chamois and ibexes which, like you, will be delighted to refresh themselves by crossing the various nants. It is there that an eco-museum is perched recounting the exploits of the mountaineers of the Peisey valley: a must-see! And a short half-hour detour to the sheep lake is highly recommended as the cotton grass is so beautiful, like an army of small white balls reflected in the clear water.
