Tour: La Culoz - Mont Echeut - Sevey - Bionaz

A loop route that climbs from near La Culoz, at 1,557 metres, onto the grazing balconies above Bionaz, touching Mont Echeut and the Sevey alp before closing back towards the village at 1,601 metres. It runs 7.2 km with 1,203 metres of total ascent: a hike, but a demanding one for the constant up-and-down among alps, larch woods and open scenic stretches. The effort is repaid by the breadth of views over Valpelline, a high-mountain valley headed by the border glaciers. Seventeen cadastre signposts mark the points of the loop. Recommended from summer to early autumn, with a good water supply and a not-too-late start.
