A true immersion in the Clarée region, the ascent to the chalets de Laval allows you to discover the upper valley as you pass through the many summer cottages, gradually ascending the river.

In winter it's the perfect place to come from Névache on snowshoes, or even on foot when the snow on the road is well packed. Leave your car at the Ville Haute parking lot in Névache and take the summer road, which is closed at this time of year. You'll pass through the snow-covered hamlets that make up the upper valley over a distance of 9 km, and, huddled against its rocky outcrop, you'll catch a glimpse of the Laval refuge. From here, the view of the Main de Crépin and the Pointe des Cerces is magnificent. Beware, it's a long way up; in case of bad weather, check the snow conditions on the Haute Vallée road, as wind and snow can slow your progress. Find out when the refuge is open and make sure you book in advance. Stay alert: - You need to be aware of changing weather and snow conditions. - The G.R. and other itineraries used in summer are not always the same as those used in winter - The right bank itinerary between Ville Haute and the Rately bridge is not recommended. - Stay alert to avalanche risks. Mountain guides are there to accompany you on this winter terrain, which they know well. - Depending on the avalanche risk, we strongly recommend that you wear full safety equipment (avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel).
