From the Lodge de la Martinette to the Refuge de l’Oule via Lac du Léat
8.13 mi
+4,619 ft
-2,129 ft
7h 45
Very difficult
Departure from La Ferrière (Isère) (Isère)
A very physically demanding day, with very steep slopes right from the start that give you almost no respite until you reach the refuge. But from the Refuge de la Grande Valloire onwards, the views are magnificent.
From the Oule refuge to the Chalet du Bout via the Col Morétan and the Aup Bernard
8.43 mi
+4,075 ft
-5,548 ft
8 hrs
Very difficult
Departure from Pinsot (Isère)
This long route will take you up and down two mountain passes (Morétan and Vay), through the Morétan Lakes valley, and across the wild, unmarked foothills leading to the Col du Vay. You’ll then begin a long, dizzying descent along a balcony path between the Chalet du Vay and l’Aup Bernard, finally arriving – after one last rather steep climb – at a very pretty spot in the middle of which stands the Chalet du Bout, the perfect place to spend the night.
Please note: this hike involves crossing two snowfields as well as a steep, exposed descent.
