A lovely walk through the mountainous countryside.
The gentians are in bud; next week they’ll surely be in full bloom.
It’s a shame that, for most of the route, the path doesn’t follow the ridge exactly but runs a few metres behind it: the very slight drop blocks the view downwards.
There are still some lovely views, though.
The mountains are all around you.

⚑Departure from Villarembert (Savoie)
A pleasant walk with no major difficulties. The ascent follows a wide, comfortable path that climbs steadily. An alternative route via another parallel path is possible (it passes through the Combe des Arvins). These paths run alongside the mountain pastures where you may encounter our friends the cows. The descent back down follows a slightly wilder path but is not difficult. Due to the presence of several small paths, various alternative routes are possible.
