Chalets de la Taure

An easy loop hike in the heart of the Bois des Ayes.
Covering almost 400 hectares, this is one of Europe's most beautiful cembra forests, with a high proportion of old trees.

Description

By car from Villard Saint Pancrace, follow the signs for Les Ayes and park in the Plan Peyron dirt parking lot.

Take the wide track opposite: a narrow path rises to the right, winding through the Ayes woods to the Taure chalets.

Cross the chalets; the path continues on a balcony above the Lac de l'Orceyrette, then gently descends to the Chalets de l'Alp.

Rejoin the wide track on the right towards the lake, then pick up the little path on the right bank of the lake, then of the torrent as far as Plan Peyron.
