Ascent of Pointe de Lavouet, a less well-known peak than Pointe de la Grande Journée, offering views of Mont Blanc, Pierra Menta and the Col de la Bâthie. A beautiful, little-used circular route passing by the lovely Lac sans Fond and returning via the mountain pastures and the Col de la Bâthie. Best undertaken from June to October to avoid snow-covered sections that obscure the path and can be dangerous.
