Departure from Larche (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
A magnificent and very varied hike, offering superb panoramic views of numerous peaks and lakes.
Numerous military remains bear witness to the strategic importance of this summit (bunkers, shelters, tunnels, cable car with the wheel still in place).
The return route, equipped with chains and handrails on a fairly short section, then follows a splendid balcony path in a dolomitic landscape.
This is an aerial route, so you must not be prone to vertigo.
