Hiking-bivouac: Aiguille du Fruit tour (Vanoise)

Description

Go for a 2-day hike around the Aiguille du Fruit in Vanoise, to discover the beautiful Rateau lake, a small paradise still preserved and far from the ski lifts of Courchevel.

Thius route without great difficulty awaits you between Méribel and Courchevel, the two famous ski resorts located in Savoie, with varied landscapes of mountain pastures and lakes to finish at the foot of this beautiful 3051 meters high Aiguille du Fruit.

You have to carry your personal belongings, as well as your bivouac (light tent, sleeping bag, pad) during the 2 days.

If the schedulded dates do not suit you, do not hesitate to propose yours.

And if you like trekking, I propose other magnificent itineraries in Savoie:

• five days around the Pointe de l'Echelle and the Dolomites of Savoie,
• four days of trekking of the high summits of Vanoise,
• three days of hiking with bivouac in the Beaufortain.
