6.01 mi
+3,658 ft
-2,700 ft
4 hrs
Very difficult
Departure from Villarodin-Bourget (Savoie)
From the Chatalamia rock, you’ll be able to see the female ibex and their kids; the chamois aren’t far away. After stopping to look at the cup-marked stone, you’ll continue the ascent through the forest, emerging onto the balcony path that leads to Le Barbier and then to the pass of the same name. During the descent to Le Plan d’Aval, you’ll be able to admire the resort of Aussois with its ski runs, but above all the magnificent panorama of the Dent Parrachée and Le Plan d’Aval.
