Departure from Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans (Isère)
A very alpine hike in the magnificent Vallon de la Pilatte cirque, beneath the Dentelles des Écrins. Half of the route is off-trail and therefore requires good terrain reading skills.
After a steep climb through mountain pastures where marmots, chamois and ibex abound, the rounded rocks and scree precede the glacier leading to the Col des Avalanches, from where you can admire the splendid panoramic views of the Écrins, the Glacier Noir and the Rouies.
