The Orgeval loop is a demanding and physically challenging hike of moderate to high difficulty, leading to the Col d’Orgeval in the heart of the Bauges Massif.

From the alpine pastures, the panorama of the surrounding peaks is breathtaking, offering an immersive experience through forests, high-altitude meadows, and panoramic views worthy of major Alpine hikes. The Orgeval loop is a challenging and technical hike, perfect for well-prepared hikers seeking a complete route in the heart of the Bauges natural landscape.

Along the alpine meadows and sensitive natural areas, the route also invites observation of the local flora, pastoral practices, and the site’s history, punctuated by ever-changing landscapes of grassy meadows and wild valleys. The descent, while less technical than the ascent, remains demanding in places, particularly on rocky sections when the ground is wet.

Accessible only to hikers accustomed to long outings with significant elevation gain, this loop combines physical effort, alpine immersion, and the grandiose panoramas typical of the Bauges Regional Natural Park.
