Departure from Col de Porte.
(S/E) Take the paved road eastwards. It becomes a stony path that runs alongside a ski lift
(1) You will arrive at a platform where a path marked Chamechaude and marked in yellow branches off to the left into the forest.
(2) After a while, the path turns right, heads south and arrives at the Cabane du Bachasson, where there is a spring.
(3) You reach the top of the forest and the path winds its way up through scree. Please stay on the path to preserve the flora that is bravely trying to survive among the rocks.
You will arrive at the ridge, which you follow to the final ledge.
(4) To reach the summit, there is a cable, two metal rungs and well-marked footholds. The cable has a brand new plastic sheath to prevent splinters in your hands.
At the summit, there is a 360° view, but be careful towards the east as the cliff is very steep.
Yellow-billed choughs with red legs come to see if there is anything to eat.
We descend by the same route, taking care not to slip on the rocks, to return to the Col de Porte (S/E).
You can descend by taking a variant on the left to avoid the scree. To be done again.
