On the climb up to the Col de Vars on the D902, take the exit for Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye. After passing through the village, take the D25. Follow this road to Maljasset. Park in the designated car park on the left-hand side of the road at the entrance to the hamlet.
(S/E) From the car park, walk through Maljasset, past the chapel, to reach the Maljasset mountain hut.
(1) Head to the Y-junction signposted for Maurin.
(2) Turn right towards the Cols de Mary and Marinet. Cross the Ubaye river then follow theGRP® trail to the vicinity of the Bergerie Inférieure de Mary.
(3) Follow the signposts for the Mary and Marinet passes.
Cross the Mary torrent to reach the sign for the Bergerie Supérieure de Mary, which is on the opposite bank.
(4) Turn right towards the Col de Marinet, heading for the Aiguille Large (Bergerie Supérieure de Mary on the left).
Follow the path, after crossing a few steep sections, to reach a flat area. Walk alongside the Béal de Marinet, following the cairns, then head for the Lac Inférieur de Marinet.
(5) Ford the Béal de Marinet at the southern end of the lake, then climb up the grassy hillock. Following the cairns, rejoin a path that winds its way westwards above the lake.
Follow this path uphill until you reach the base of a wide valley to the left of the Aiguille Large. Look out for the path on the right-hand side of the valley (see video).
Near a cairn on a rock, turn right onto this path, which climbs the north-north-western slope beneath the Aiguille Large.
Once you reach the end of this path, ascend the remaining third of the valley off-trail to the ridge. Take the summit path to the right. After crossing some moss-covered rocks and then a gentle ridge, reach the summit slab marked by its cairn.
(6) Return in the opposite direction via the same route to your car park (S/E).
