This vertical trail starts in the village of Vallouise and climbs directly up the western flank of the Mont-Brison massif. From the very first meters, you dive into steep singletrack that quickly rises above the forest. It's a pure climbing route: few recovery moments, a constant gradient, and the landscape

The starting point is in the village of Pallon, where you can conveniently park and fill up with water at the fountain upon your return. From here, the climb to one of the region's most enjoyable ridge runs begins: the Crête de la Rortie.

This trail, like the route to the Glacier Noir, begins at Pré de Madame Carle. It's a popular starting point, especially for hikers heading to the Glacier Blanc, but it's also a magnificent high-mountain trek for trail runners. Due to the lack of shade, it can get hot in summer, so it's best to start

You begin this trail at the parking lot in Les Vigneaux on the Gyronde River. You follow the water through a flat farmland, an ideal warm-up for the climb ahead.

You start this trail in Ailefroide, a lively mountain village that becomes one of the most important spots for climbers and mountaineers in the Écrins region in summer.
