Hiking - La Croix de Feissons from Moûtiers
Looking to get up high? This challenging ascent rewards you with a bird's-eye view of Moûtiers and the major peaks of the Vanoise, Lauzière, and Beaufortain massifs, as well as the Mont-Blanc range.
See that cross standing on the rocky spur above Moûtiers? That's where you're headed! With nearly 900 m of elevation gain, the route is quite challenging. Pleasant in summer weather, the trail's woodland setting doesn't detract from the views over the Moûtiers valley and the surrounding peaks. Equipped with an orientation table and picnic tables, the stunning Croix de Feissons viewpoint is reached after a long series of switchbacks.
The trail starts very near the canoe and kayak centre; walk past the Moûtiers hydroelectric power plant, then follow the "Croix de Feissons" signs and later the pink trail markers.
Wear sturdy hiking shoes and bring water (there are no water sources along the trail).
