Col du Coin walks
Mont Coin and Roc de la Charbonnière via the ridges
Roc de la Charbonnière is not the best-known of the peaks, but it sits enthroned in the centre of the Beaufortain massif, opposite Pierra Menta. The ridge route leading there from Mont Coin is magnificent, with views in all directions and abundant flora in season. Only the final climb in a chaotic mineral landscape is more demanding than the grassy terrain that predominates along the route.
