![]() |
The GR®5E, affectionately known as the Path of Little Happiness, is a scenic hiking trail that weaves its way through Savoie, from Bonneval-sur-Arc to Modane, nestled in the heart of Maurienne. It traverses the Vanoise National Park, the oldest of its kind in France. This relatively short route, spanning a distance of 45 kilometers, can be comfortably completed in 2 to 3 days. The journey commences in Bonneval-sur-Arc and culminates in Modane. For those approaching from the GR®5 (north), a detour allows hikers to connect with the GR®5E in Bonneval, starting from the second footbridge situated in the Lenta valley. It’s crucial to note that the white-red trail markers can be sporadic and sometimes even absent, hence thorough preparation and a detailed map of the region are strongly advised. As you traverse the trail, you’ll be treated to awe-inspiring alpine vistas, quaint hamlets, and a diverse array of wildlife. It’s a veritable feast for the senses and a celebration of unspoiled nature.
