A short and scenic walk through the Manchet valley

Starting from the tourist office in the centre of Val d'Isere, this trail is marked with green and orange trail markers. Head in the direction of the parc des sports du centre and continue towards the Chapel Saint-Jean. Following the road to the right of the chapel towards Club Med, the path then narrows after the last few houses.

The route then follows the small and pleasant Ruisseau de la Calabourdane until you pass the tennis courts and telepherique and reach the small hamlet of Le Manchet. 

You can either return via the same route or take the free shuttle service back to the town centre.
