Departure from La Brigue (Alpes-Maritimes)
The three easternmost peaks in France.
This hike presents no technical difficulties; the paths are well-marked and there are plenty of signposts.
I classify it as very difficult given its length and elevation gain.
A similar hike was already described in 2019, but I am not including the description of the descent today.
