This peak must be climbed when you come to the Frontignes. To have the chance to observe the sunrises and sunsets there is... Do not hesitate to stop at the refuge at the exit of the wood just before climbing the mountain pasture.

Hiking

Very pleased to have decent walking boots for this hike. There are sections where the path is very rocky, or grassy, or covered with dead leaves. Also good to be reasonably fit, to have a good sense of balance and a head for heights. As always, the effort is worth it. Tour took 5h30 so not too bad.

This is essentially a 14km clockwise loop. The ascent to the peaks is pretty well marked out although I’d always suggest downloading an offline route map. It’s not particularly technical …
