GR®738 - Stage 3: Refuge de La Perrière - Refuge de La Pierre du Carre

This stage takes in the Isère region on a beautiful route from pass to pass, offering remarkable panoramic views of the Grands Moulins foothills, the Lauzière and Mont Blanc.

The stage begins with a short ascent of the Frèche and Arpingon passes. The latter offers a remarkable panorama of the Grands Moulins foothills, La Lauzière and Mont Blanc. Continuing along the trail, you'll find the Férices refuge in a magnificent cirque, a veritable mineral conch. The Le Bens torrent marks the passage between Savoie and Isère. Long attached to the kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, the Savoie didn't join France by referendum until 1860, and a few engraved markers (the fleur-de-lis on one side, the dauphin on the other) recall the history of these two departments. Then comes the Claran mountain pasture, a veritable blueberry nest, used for three generations by a family of transhumants and their 3,000 ewes.
When you arrive at the refuge, Guylain will open his doors and take care of you.
