レ・ザドレの天然記念物・トップ18

The cross of the Aulp du seuil is located at 1825m above the cirque and marks the entrance to the high plateaus.

Magnificent lake! Accessible to all! As a bonus, you'll find ibexes and a few marmots if you're lucky. For the more courageous, you can climb to an altitude of 2,900 m by continuing on the path with a magnificent view if the sky is clear!

Beautiful pass. Relatively steep climbs from the valley. There are rest stops at the top.

A stunning summit with views of Mont Blanc. The two climbs from the Col des Ayes are relatively steep, but steel cables are installed at the more dangerous sections. The climb north via the Trou du Glaz is a bit longer and a bit easier. The climb east is a bit steeper and more exposed. The view is good, though.

Great hike! Make sure you have good shoes with crampons because some slopes are a bit slippery. Magnificent view at the top.

To do...

on private property, with no-entry signs, especially at hunting time

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.
