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.

The Col de l'Aup Martin and the Pas de la Cavale from the Onde Valley, leading into the Champoléon Valley.
The Aup Martin – what a pass!
Note: This route is a stage of the Tour de l'Oisans but it is very challenging, particularly in early summer when there is still snow on the Col de l'Aup Martin. For this reason, a diversion has been put in place starting from Vallouise, passing through Puy Saint-Vincent, the Col de la Pousterle and the Fournel valley. You then join the Pas de la Cavale (GR®54A).
