Very difficult
Departure from Pelvoux (Hautes-Alpes)
An alpine hike, largely off-trail, through very wild terrain; not particularly difficult but requiring sure-footedness. You’re more likely to encounter chamois than people! Stunning views of the Pelvoux.
Setting off early means you can complete much of the ascent in the shade.
