Very beautiful site, offering local land foods.

Very well-equipped high-altitude refuge, offering in particular a water point and outdoor sleeping areas which are great in summer for admiring the starry sky.

Recommended stop in a pleasant setting at the lake chalet to taste the grataron, local goat's cheese, while discussing the ecosystem with the very friendly producers.

Picturesque Chalet du Lac is a classic mountain chalet set beside a gleaming lake below Mount Mirantin. You'll find it just off the main trail from Arêches to the Pas de l’Ane. Over the summer months, if the shepherd's about, you can buy coffee and crêpes from the door.

Refuge les Arolles stands in an elevated position with views down into the valley and up towards La Légette du Grand Mont. Open in July and August serving drinks, snacks and meals, you can also stay here if you book in advance. The Piapolay chairlift links the village of Le Planay to a platform just below the refuge. If you take this rather than running, you'll save 1.8 kilometres (1.1 mi) of distance and 675 metres (2,215 ft) of ascent.

Next to the Chalet du Lac, where refreshments and pancakes are available.

Small valley of Beaufortain with magnificent landscapes, accessible from the Tarentaise in gravel if you are motivated, or from the lake of Saint Guérin if you are VERY motivated and by mountain bike.
