Departure from Vars (Hautes-Alpes)
A long, wild hike for those who enjoy circular walks and aren’t put off by occasionally challenging paths. Indeed, the ascent from the Crachet hut towards the Col de Crévoux (or Col de Jaffeuil) follows a path that is often on a slope, so you need sure-footedness (see ‘Practical information’ section). But it’s truly wild!
You can shorten this circular route by taking the shuttle bus up to the Col de Vars and, on the way back, taking a chairlift (if possible) to return to the resort.
