Magnificent route in the Valsorey valley via the Vélan and Valsorey huts.
From Bourg St-Pierre join the church and turn left to go under the road of Gd St-Bernard. Take the road to Cordonne for a few meters then follow the direction of Azerin via the path then the alpine road to the alpine pasture of Azerin. Then join Challand and take the direction of the Valsorey hut via a steep path going up to a ridge. Stay on this panoramic trail which becomes more technical on its final part until you reach a path crossing under the Valsorey hut. Climb to the hut and then retrace your steps to the crossroads to descend to the Grands Plans. Turn left and go up to the Vélan hut. Then return to Bourg St-Pierre by the usual path from the hut via Chalet d’Amont and then Cordonne.
