Vedun - Echarlod (La Salle)

A descending route through the Valdigne, linking La Salle and La Thuile from Vedun (1519 m) down to Echarlod (1013 m). Over 5.2 km the route loses 578 m through larch and fir forests and open pastures, with views toward the Mont Blanc massif and the surrounding peaks. The gradient is sustained but manageable, making this a pleasant descent for walkers comfortable on mountain terrain. Rated E. A pleasant descent best combined with a higher-altitude outing, or walked as a relaxed spring traverse when mid-elevations clear of snow.
