Hike 1 - Petit Mont Blanc
Starting point: Courchevel Moriond (Belvedere)
Duration: 6h30
Starting from Le Belvedere, located above Courchevel Moriond, this uphill mountain hike will take you on a trail up to the view point at Perur Mont Blanc (2,670m). The high alpine hike is a challenge with the steep ascent but the scenery and views definitely make it worthwhile. Starting at Le Belvedere, you want to take the trail that leads up towards the Petit Mont Blanc, passing by the Vallée des Avals and all the way up and over to the viewing point. You want to take the same trail to get back down. This trail is marked 'one' on the walking map.

Hike 2 - Chemin di Moulin de Villaflou
Starting point: TC Tania
Duration: 2h30
A shorter hike but equally as challenging, this hike starts in La Tania at the base of the TC La Tania and takes a loop back to here again at the end with the last part being much easier than the rest. Hiking through forests and meadows you can experience the Alps in the summer and the wildlife that springs to life in summertime. Starting from the bottom of the lift take the route that leads to Villaflou and just keep following the trail round, following signs to La Tania. Eventually you will hit a much easier part of the hike where the path joins an easy route. Keep going until you hit La Tania again. This trail is labelled 'Ten' on the walking map.
