A very beautiful hike starting from Le Lignon in a magnificent setting (Passy - Haut-Giffre nature reserve). Depending on the season in which you do this hike, take into account the crossing of several snowfields (very late in 2013) and numerous streams that "cut" the path.

This route presents no difficulties other than the distance and elevation gain, and can be completed in one go by well-trained hikers.
The route is fully signposted and can be completed in its entirety by following the directions on the signs and markings (a little more difficult when the "high" part is snow-covered, as it was during our last hike :-) ).

A magnificent ascent via the Sales Refuge.
After passing close to the Pleureuse, Sauffaz, Sales and Trainant waterfalls, the Sales valley offers us bucolic landscapes that contrast with the harshness of the surrounding peaks. It's like being in a Snow White cartoon... or, more to my taste, Shrek.
The rest of the route, no less remarkable, will lead us to a breathtaking panorama...

I invite you to tackle the Tour des Fiz, a route of considerable length with a significant elevation gain.Along the way, you’ll be treated to magnificent and varied scenery throughout this hike.Please note, you will encounter a difficult section during the ascent of the Passage du Dérochoir (6): the cliff face is fairly well-equipped but requires a degree of caution, particularly as it is quite exposed.
