The footbridges of the Eau Rousse (B20)
Description
Climb up the hill and staircases until arriving at a viewpoint overlooking the Eau Rousse Torrent and the Isère River. Several tunnels dug in the rock then follow the river upstream. Once at the bridge which crosses the stream (630 m), lake a left turn and head up through the forest until arriving at Cudray. Once through the hamlet, the path goes left and continues through the forest until arriving at the Grand Jet balcony (990 m) where the view stretches out on the north/west part of the Tarentaise Valley.
On the way back, retrace your steps until Cudray and, after the hamlet, go straight on. The path goes down the hill and re-joins the path which was used on the way up.
