    Tips

    At the Baisse du Basto you approach 3,000 meters in altitude. By doing so, you increase the chances of encountering ibexes. They are not uncommon at this height.

    The climb is steep. Take your time.

      Great mountain crossing. Rise from the direction of Refuge de Nice a bit creepy.

        The ascent beyond the Refuge of Nice is characterized initially by the Lake of Fous and later by several small glacial lakes. After the Baisse du Basto, you pass another body of water before seeing the imposing Lac du Basto for the first time. The Vallée des Merveilles is also characterized by numerous lakes, although these are mainly reservoirs around the Refuge des Merveilles.
