Replanette Loop Trail

Follow the emblematic GR®5 as it crosses a well-marked high altitude meadow in the midst of the occasional herds. Its regular profile gives you easy access to the narrow valley junction at 2434 m altitude. Now you're immersed in a high-mountain world much appreciated by backpackers. Will you decide to extend your escapade as far as the Thabor refuge?
If you feel like it, why not take a trip to the Sainte-Marguerite lakes? They invite you to take a refreshing break and punctuate your ascent. A string of peaks protects the area. From the Pointe des Sarrasins to the peaks of the Three Wise Men - Balthazar, Melchior and Gaspard - via the Thabor, birds of prey have made this their kingdom.
On the way back, complete the itinerary with the Col de la Vallée Étroite at 2438 m altitude. This is one of the oldest traditional crossings between the Maurienne and Italian Piedmont. Can't you just feel the border? Bardonnechia and the Hautes-Alpes department are just a few steps away.
The Replanette balcony now offers an easy-to-cross ridge. The whistling of marmots echoes and accompanies you all the way to La Losa. When you arrive at the Lavoir, you'll be asking for more!
