Very difficult
Departure from Livet-et-Gavet (Isère)
Two central viewpoints offer views of the French Northern Alps, from Mont Blanc to the limestone foothills of Chartreuse and Vercors, Belledonne, Grandes Rousses, Cerces, Oisans and Dévoluy. Numerous lakes dot the large "tundra" plateau separating Taillefer from Grand Galbert like sapphires.
Part of the hike is off-trail, but this does not add to the difficulty: only the elevation gain and distance justify the rating. See practical information.

Departure from Valjouffrey (Isère)
A short 10 km stage but with 1,400 m of elevation gain, featuring the very technical and rocky ascent of the Col de la Muzelle. It requires the utmost caution, especially with a heavy rucksack. A narrow passage between two magnificent mountains, the Roche de La Muzelle and the Pic du Clapier du Peyron. Throughout the ascent, you are surrounded by mountain ranges over 3,000 m high. From the pass, there is a splendid view of the rest of the Glacier de la Muzelle, the lake and the corridor leading down to Valsenestre.
