The idea behind this three-day self-supported trek is to link the Goléon massif to the Grandes Rousses massif via the ridges to the north of the Plateau d’Emparis.
It’s a wild hike requiring not only good physical fitness but also the ability to read maps and the terrain.
Thefirst day is just a warm-up.
