Tips
Breathtaking view from the top, especially with a clear sky. You can see the lakes below, Monte Rosa, Matterhorn, Weisshorn, Combin de Grafenerie, Mt Blanc, Gran Paradiso and Monviso.
Not difficult to reach. The first part of the ascent consists in getting to Col Fussy via an easy trail (8C). The last part is on stony ground, never too steep. There are only a few parts of the trail there, which can be found by following the sporadic yellow signs and stone cairns.
During the last part, there were a lot of beautiful ibexes!September 11, 2022
