ラ・プラーニュ-タランテーズの峠・トップ20

The climb to the pass and the descent are difficult and steep, all in a scree field, the markings are not always visible. Not to be underestimated.

It is accessible on its sunny side by a hiking trail taken by the GR 5 and the Tour du Beaufortain between the Plan de la Lai (1,820 m) to the southwest and the Col de la Croix du Bonhomme refuge (2,443 m) to the northeast via the Gittes ridge (2,538 m)1. On its shady side, another trail comes from the hamlet of Gittaz (1,660 m) to the northwest or from the Col du Bonhomme (2,329 m) to the north via the Sausse mountain pasture (2,000 m).
