    Hiking

    The Col de la Vache is located at an altitude of 2,535 metres, between the Pic de la Belle Étoile and the Tête de l'Homme. It is a wild and rugged place, where you can enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding peaks.

    Hiking

    It's hard to climb the rocks and the snowfields, but the view is superb once at an altitude of 2500m.

    Hiking

    Ascent completed on July 18, 2024. There remained a large snowfield on the east face. Personally I had a good laugh sliding down on the snow but my girlfriend fell several times and if I hadn't been there it could have ended badly.

    In short, it’s really technical and dangerous if you don’t have sure footing. But well equipped and with practice it’s pleasant
