    Tips

    Culminating at 2909m, the summit of the Grande Séolane offers a 360° view of the surrounding mountains and massifs (Tête de l’Estrop, Écrins, Mercantour and even Mont Blanc).

    The ascent can be done from the South, thanks to the beautiful chimney of Lou Chiminet which does not pose a problem for experienced hikers, at least on the way up, or by the “Normal Route”, to the East, passing through the Col des Thuiles, which is very easy and very well indicated.
    I personally recommend the ascent by Lou Chiminet and the descent by the “Normal Route” to easily complete the loop.
    However, be careful of the snowfields that can remain in the corridor at the beginning of the season…
