    Running

    At an altitude of 3,299 metres, the Col du Loson can be reached from the Vittorio Sella refuge, to the east, and from Eaux Rousses, to the west. This point is crossed by the Alta Via 2 of the Aosta Valley and the Tor des Géants.

    The climb is steep among scree on the slope that rises from Eaux Rousses, but the path is well marked and challenging, typical of the high mountains. On the opposite side, which rises from the Sella refuge, the terrain is less steep. Running is complicated up here.
