Difficult
Departure from Aiguilles (Hautes-Alpes)
A circular hike starting from Aiguilles and passing through Chalvet, Le Lombard, Les Eygliers and La Pause. Normally classified as moderate, but difficult due to:- the uneven distribution of elevation gain: fairly steep climb from the start, almost flat for 7 km, steep descent,- two small, almost flat sections where the path is poorly marked,- a steep section protected by a handrail that is impractical in snow or frost and impossible for a donkey, even without a pack. A dog off the leash can pass through easily.
