Really magnificent view of the malissard, the bellefont and the entire extension of the Chartreuse. The climb is not too hard, you can get water on the south side at the cabin at the foot of the source.

Magnificent and relatively easy pass, with basic fitness. Offers a magnificent view of Mont Blanc.
Be careful though, the Chaos and the Col are currently completely covered in snow. Being in a group, I did not attempt the ascent of the Col which, without equipment, can be particularly slippery and dangerous. Possibility of going back down via Prayet towards Saint Pierre en Chartreuse.
Tested in November, however, no problems observed, very accessible.translated by•May 1, 2024
