The ascent to the Cime du Diable is definitely worthwhile because of the good all-round visibility. Now in July, the ascent is recommended, preferably in the morning when the sky is clear. The climb is quite steep at the end, but not too long. Of course there is cell phone reception at the summit, which is rarely the case elsewhere.
Note that trekking poles are not allowed in this area unless equipped with rubber stoppers. It is also not allowed to move off the paths. Corresponding small signs give precise information from place to place about what is allowed and what is not.

Nice tour with a view worth seeing at the end. The route leads partly over rocks and signposts are not available everywhere. A hike with a map on your cell phone is recommended, cairns on the route help with orientation. A running time of 6 hours is realistic for a good fitness level. If you are lucky you can see chamois and golden eagles on this route. Still accessible at the beginning of October.
