Crossing the Grande and Petite Moucherolle, from the Deux Sœurs to La Balme

Very difficult
Departure from Château-Bernard (Isère)
A magnificent, fairly challenging traverse, taking in the Grande and then the Petite Moucherolle, ascending via the Col des Deux Sœurs and descending via the Pas de la Balme, starting from the Arzelier resort.
Several sections require caution, either due to the steepness of the rocky outcrops to be crossed or the deterioration of the historic path, but the views, both along the route and from the summits, more than make up for the effort required.
This hike is classified as very difficult for the reasons explained in the “Practical Information” section.
