Exceptional 360° view, on one side on the dam, on the Mont Blanc massif (majestic), on the other on Les Saisies, Arêches-Beaufort etc. Sometimes dizzying views.
Fairly easy course except …
The Col de la Pierra Menta peaking at more than 2550m separates Beaufortain from Vanoise. Its crossing requires good management of the fear of heights. Chronic acrophone, refrain.
Located at 2,077 meters, this point is located on the same ridge as Crève Tête and offers an impressive view of the surrounding valleys and peaks including Mont Blanc.
