Itinerary

Day

Névache - Refuge des Drayères

Duration: 06:50 h

Distance: 18.7 km

Ascent: 1060 m

Descent: 500 m

Follow the Clarée in a northwest direction. You follow a contour path all the way past Refuge de Ricou (coffee stop!) and Les Chaumes. Today offers a great warm-up for what's to come. Not too easy, not too hard, but it definitely gets the legs moving. You can also take an alternative route via Refuge de Laval, but if you want to do it properly, stay on the GR route.

Refuge des Drayeres - Refuge Terzo Alpini

Duration: 07:50 h

Distance: 16.6 km

Ascent: 1030 m

Descent: 1440 m

Start from Refuge des Drayères and climb steadily towards Mont Thabor. The path leads through rugged alpine terrain and past rocky ridges with stunning views. Reaching the chapel near the summit is a real highlight — a peaceful spot high above the valley. From there, descend into Italy towards Refuge Terzo Alpini. It’s a long day, but full of variety, great scenery, and that satisfying sense of crossing into a new landscape.

One last good day on the Tour du Mont Thabor. From Granges, it is about 6 hours back to the starting point of the trek; Névache. You start with walking back for around 2 kilometers to get back on the route of Tour du Mont Thabor. On the way, you will still find a few fantastic highlights and you will of course get to see undulating views. One last push to Col du Vallon, and before you know it you are enjoying a well-deserved blonde beer in Névache. Here, you can spend one more night, or you can travel onwards to the next set of mountains.
