Circular hiking route offering spectacular views

The tour of Mount Fallère is a 34 km trekking route that can be covered in 2-3 days with stages of approximately 4/5 hours.

It starts from Saint-Oyen or from Étroubles in the Great Saint Bernard valley. Having reached the Tza de Flassin mountain pasture, it proceeds towards Colle Vertosan and Col Fenêtre before descending to the Mont Fallère refuge. The route runs along the southern slope of Mont Fallère at high altitude, climbs to the Col de Metz and Punta Chaligne and then descends to the Chaligne refuge, where it is possible to stay overnight. From here, initially flat, then downhill, the itinerary reaches the village of Étroubles and then Saint-Oyen.

The route, which can be traveled just as easily in the reverse direction, passes through the municipalities of Gignod, Aosta, Sarre, Saint-Pierre, Avise, Saint-Rhémy-en-Bosses, Saint-Oyen and Étroubles.
