Warning: this route has no description and relatively few waypoints, so it does not offer the same guarantees as the hikes usually published on Visorando.
Departure from Rochers de Naye by rack railway with a night in a bivouac just above Pertuis d'Aveneyre. The route largely follows the Via Alpina trail. Some paths are narrow, so caution is advised for those prone to vertigo.
