Park in the Prés Ronds car park.
(S/E) Continue along the road to reach the Refuge du Pré Vérel. Walk past it and take the wide track that climbs towards the Col de l’Aulp.
(1) Continue along the track to the Chalet de l’Aulp.
(2) From the Chalet de l’Aulp car park, take the steep path on the right and head due east to reach the rocky ridge.
(3) Cross it using the handrails in place, as well as other chains and metal bars. Follow the green markings to avoid venturing onto some exposed ledges.
(4) Pass in front of the Refuge de la Tournette, situated on the small Plateau du Casset.
(5) Head onto the second rocky ridge leading over the Col du Varo.
(6) Continue to follow the green markings.
(7) Begin the ascent of the Fauteuil.
(8) For the return journey, there are two options:
- follow the same route in the opposite direction.
- descend via the Pointe des Frêtes (as shown on the map), then descend from the Fauteuil via the same route; at its foot, take the track on the western side, which then heads due south. Follow the balcony-like track, pass beneath the Pointe de la Bajulaz and, after the pass, begin the descent down the moraine to reach the Pointe des Frêtes and the well-defined path along the ridge.
(9) Cross over to the western slope towards the ruins of the Chalet du Lars, then continue to the right to reach the Rocher du Charvet.
(10) Descend to the left into the valley floor, then head towards the confluence of several streams.
(11) Turn right, cross a stream and descend through the woodland to reach the Chalet des Sétets.
(12) Follow the track to the right and across the meadows to reach the Prés Ronds car park (S/E).
