In a superb setting, this hike begins with a relatively easy climb to the Col des Aiguilles, a pass flanked by two steep peaks that give it a striking appearance.
The return journey can be made either by the same route (rated as Moderate) or by a challenging circular route reserved for experienced hikers and only to be attempted in good weather conditions (rated as Very Difficult).

Most of the route follows theGRP® Tour du Dévoluy trail markedGR®94.
For the return journey, rather than going back the same way, you can vary the route by returning via Small Pass and Le Charvet. This is an off-trail route.
This alternative route must be taken in good visibility and requires the ability to use a map and compass, which is essential for off-trail hiking.
The view from Le Chauvet over Le Dévoluy is magnificent.
