Le replat des Danaïdes (about 1h20): these 5 km hike will lead you from the top of the Solaise Telecabine by first following the combe du Laisinant and branching off in the direction of the millennial Arolle. Before the forest, a magnificent grassy flat awaits you with the valley at your feet.

The 7 chapels circuit (about 3h20): go to discover the chapels in the heart of Val d’Isère. These buildings sometimes centuries old will make you discover the history of peasant societies. Go through the old hamlets of the village in a circuit punctuated by the history of the chapels where mystery and silence emerge from these religious buildings. A treasure hunt is organized for our young public. A series of questions will be asked at each of the 7 chapels in connection with the history listened to or read on site. To participate in the treasure hunt, come and get the riddles to solve at the Tourist Office. If the children answer all the questions correctly, they will win their share of the treasure.
