Route-specific demand
Full walking circuit from Trient
- Reviewed scope
- The published Valrando VS_Tour_04 walking trace is the route basis, followed from Trient counterclockwise via Col de Balme, Brévent, Les Houches, Col de Voza, Les Contamines, Col de la Croix du Bonhomme, Les Chapieux, Col de la Seigne, Dolonne, Grand Col Ferret, La Fouly, Champex and Bovine. Its dated geometry is not a current-condition report. Full mountain walking circuit with repeated pass climbs and descents on successive days. Valrando describes a 10–13-day itinerary; exact overnight reservations remain personal logistics, not fixed training doses.
