Loop of Dzonfié (B10)
Description
Start from the Nant du Beurre refuge. After a first start through the alpine pastures, take a right turn at the Rochers Blancs (White Rocks, 2250m). Follow the steep uphill path until the Dzonfié ridge and peak (2 455 m). Walk along the crest line which offers a 360° view over the Lauzière, the Beaufortain and the Bauges on one side and the Vanoise and the Mont Blanc on the other.
Continue along the crest facing the Madeleine Col and the Cheval Noir Peak (Black Horse) until reaching the Vâ Col (2 222 m).
Take a right hand turn and keep on until Sur Beauregard (2 000 m), a slight uphill incline takes you back to the Nant du Beurre refuge.
