Pas de marquage, mais la sente est bien tracée et bien cairnée.

Not too difficult a hike.
As there was snow on the final climb, I put on my crampons, which made it easier.
There was a lot of construction work on the south side, which wasn't great.
Unfortunately, the north side was foggy, so I could only see the nearby valley.
Without the fog, perhaps there would have been a nice view in the distance, but for me it was a disappointment
Thanks for the route and description

Hike starting from the Col de l'Iseran, following a path above the small lake of Cema, then a fairly steep climb towards the Col de Pers and then the Pointe de Pers. Follow the ridges before the final climb to the peak, where the view is magnificent. The path is clearly visible but should be avoided in wet weather. There are a few exposed sections but they are not particularly difficult. A very beautiful hike.

Hike undertaken to escape the heatwave and get some altitude with limited time available.
The description is fairly basic, but there is a well-marked path (often steep) almost all the way, which is a luxury at this altitude.
There is only one steep section, but it can be bypassed on the south side at Pointe de Pers.
I've added a few photos to illustrate.

A very beautiful hike with magnificent views of the valleys (and the ski slopes, ski lifts and snow cannons, among other things)
Quite an impressive (and noisy) waterfall with very grey water.
There are a few narrow sections with scree, so take care with children.

Mineral landscape and view of the ski lifts.
Do not climb if wet, as the ground is covered in small stones or dust and very steep.
Be careful with children as there is a risk of slipping

A hike that is well worth the detour. Today, the path before the pass is well marked (cairns) and runs to the left of the map.
On the ridge, there are a few exposed sections, which are not difficult but may be problematic for those with vertigo.

Courte randonnée pour accéder à un 3000 m, assez facile en l'absence de neige (comme pour sa voisine l'Aiguille Pers), et dans un environnement très vite minéral. Elle peut être très fréquentée du fait de son accès aisé, mais le panorama au sommet en vaut le détour.

This is a pleasant hike where you can encounter chamois and marmots and enjoy breathtaking views of the main peaks of the Vanoise from the summit. On one side: Grande Motte, Grande Casse, Dôme de Chasseforêt, Dent Parachée, Méan Martin. On the other: Charbonnel, Albaron, Grande Chiamarella. In the background, Mont Blanc, of course.

Exceptional panorama at the summit of this 3,000 m peak. This route from the Pont de l'Oulietta adds 300 m of elevation gain compared to the start from the Col de l'Iseran but allows you to be alone in the world on 80% of the route.

The Roc de Bassagne is a double peak on the border ridge, at the junction of the Vanoise and Grand Paradis National Parks. There are many ibex here, as the valley leading to the peak is very quiet compared to the nearby Prariond trail.
