Hiking and ibex watching in Vanoise

Description

I'm looking forward to meeting you in the Maurienne valley in Savoie to observe and photograph ibexes.

After an approach hike of a few hours on a summit or towards a pass, you will discover the ibexes feeding, moving or ruminating off the trails.

We will have our picnic about fifteen meters from the ibexes as they go about their business, the perfect place to take pictures of them and come back with photos souvenirs.

The departure time is given as a guide only, and may be brought forward or delayed depending on the season.

We will meet at Place Opinel in the village of Albiez-Montrond (or at a convenient meeting point depending on where you are staying), then drive to the start of the hike.

Bring your hiking gear, picnic, drinks, warm clothes and a windbreaker for the day.

I also offer all along summer some hikes with fossil hunting around Albiez, to observe the life of marmots and to learn about the mountain flowers and medicinal plants of Maurienne.
And for the more sporty, you can follow me on the ascent of a 3000-meter peak in Maurienne.
