Extremely difficult
Departure from Pelvoux (Hautes-Alpes)
A challenging hike through a spectacular landscape where gigantic, jagged granite cliffs drop sheer down to a wild glacier. The lack of paths for most of the ascent helps to create an atmosphere of adventure and solitude reminiscent of expeditions in Patagonia or the Karakoram.

Departure from Vallouise (Hautes-Alpes)
Stage11 of this route. One of the most beautiful and challenging stages of the route, featuring the Aup Martin pass at 2,700 metres and the Pas de la Cavale, the highest point ofthe GR® 54. This stage demands the utmost vigilance and experience of high-mountain hiking. The views are absolutely stunning and incredibly wild. We took the shuttle bus to avoid the 8 km of tarmac road to the car park at Entre-les-Aigues.

The Col de l'Aup Martin and the Pas de la Cavale from the Onde Valley, leading into the Champoléon Valley.
The Aup Martin – what a pass!
Note: This route is a stage of the Tour de l'Oisans but it is very challenging, particularly in early summer when there is still snow on the Col de l'Aup Martin. For this reason, a diversion has been put in place starting from Vallouise, passing through Puy Saint-Vincent, the Col de la Pousterle and the Fournel valley. You then join the Pas de la Cavale (GR®54A).
