This
walk is easy and varied
but rather long (can be done in a day, but also in stages). It will
take you through Alpine pastures and forests with a magnificent
panorama from the top point of the Beauregard mountain. (Starting
point- Chapelle du Parc 1030m: Vertical incline- 1000m: Highest
point- Pointe de Beauregard 1643m) |

 |
How
to get there: From La Clusaz, take the Staint-Jean
de Sixt road for 300m. There is a small car park on the right side
of the road. Walking Route: From the car park, for the original walk
do not take the lane that goes up above the chapel,but carry on |
|
for
100m and take the first lane that is suitable for vehicles which
runs alongside the quarry. A little further on, quite a steep uphill
track joins the col des Mouilles route, after running alongside the
cliffs that overlook the forest. Go as far as the col des Mouilles. A
track leads to les Frasses, then follow the road as far as the
Confins lake. Walk about 100m beyond the chapel and turn right along
the footpath that goes around the lake. Beyond the lake, go to the
bottom of the Balme coombe then the cret du Merle. Go down the road
for 300m then take the lane on the left that leads to the route du
col des Aravis and follow it for 100m. |
|
To
the right of the chalet, the lane follows the Etale mountainside as
far as les Prises (cross over the
route du col de la Croix Fry). The lane climbs uphill through the
woods and alpine pastures to reach the pointe de Beauregard (cable
car). Go down the northern mountainside until you get to the path
that runs by the chalet de La Patton. The path carries on downhill
and leads you back to La Clusaz, then take the road back to the
chapelle du parc car park. |
