ORMA
A 8.4 km loop near Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, imported from the OpenStreetMap hiking network (trail 18). Passed automated dog-suitability screening: no via ferrata, ladders, or alpine-grade (T3+) sections on record.
This is a true loop: it closes back on its own start point, so there's no return leg to plan; 408 m of gain over 8.4 km is a real climb: budget rests, and halve expectations for short-legged dogs.
Mapped start suggestion — Lift station Vinouve, 12 m from the route. Check current access before travelling.
Availability can change. Carry a full supply.
