GR®57 Tour of Mont Thabor: Hiking from Névache (Hautes-Alpes)

Dominating the Clarée Valley from its 3,178-metre summit, Mont Thabor is an iconic peak of the Hautes-Alpes, which was part of Italy until 1947. Its lunar and barren landscape, composed of quartzites and breccia, offers a striking contrast to the emerald lakes that dot its ascent. In terms of heritage, the Notre-Dame-du-Thabor chapel, perched near the summit, bears witness to a long history of devotion. The flora, adapted to the harsh Alpine conditions, includes edelweiss and various saxifrages. The chamois, ibex and marmot share this high-altitude territory, making the GR®57 an exceptional circuit for lovers of wild and remote mountain landscapes.
