A superb walk that culminates at Tardevant, passing through two valleys with very contrasting landscapes. The most exceptional is the Grande Forclaz. The Tardevant valley is more classic.
Caution: the passage between the two valleys is exposed and, although not particularly difficult, is reserved for experienced hikers.
Avoid in bad weather or when the ground is wet.
