Tips
The Dent de Valère is at 2267m and directly in front of the Dents du Midi. There is no summit cross, just a signpost with a location display. The view of the Dents du Midi is just perfect from here 👌🏻There are two mountain hiking trails (white-red-white) for the ascent, one leading up along an edge of the mountain and the other running through a lot of switchbacks through a meadow to the summit. An alpine hiking trail (white-blue-white) also leads from the north side to the summit. Hand use is also required here on the rocks or high steps. I would only recommend this path for an ascent and then to complete the descent via one of the mountain hiking trails.

Very steep (but fun) part. I wouldn't try it going down though.
There's an alternative way that goes around, too.July 16, 2018
