    Itinéraire que je connais très bien. Je recommande un arrêt chez Sébastien qui fait un très bon Beaufort et accueil les randonneurs de passage.

    Magnifique randonnée assez physique, paysages variés avec de nombreuses cascades et passage à côté d'un refuge avec possibilité d'y faire une pause boisson/repas. Attention, au point le plus éloigné du départ, au niveau d'un pont en bois qui traverse la rivière, présence de plusieurs patous et gros chiens de troupeau en liberté.

    Très jolie vallée mais je recommande de faire ce circuit à l'envers : monter par la rive gauche dans les zones d'avalanches et redescendre par la rive droite dans les prés. Le sentier rive gauche est délicat et plus facile en montée, la vue est magnifique. On apprécie mieux le paysage et la découverte du patrimoine en descendant vers lui en rive droite. Attention de ne pas s'attarder, s'arrêter sous le glacier de Charbonnel dont les séracs peuvent craquer avec la chaleur.
