Hiking - From Refuge de la Valette to the Fontanettes car park

Warning: a persistent snowfield is found on the steep north face of Roc du Tambour and on the western slopes of Petit Marchet. The descent into the Cirque du Dard is steep, and the path often remains snow-covered late into the season). Early in the season, you can go down to Pralognan via the Pas de l'Ane, take the free shuttle bus back up to Les Fontanettes and set off again towards the Col de la Vanoise.
