Very difficult
Departure from Saint-Thibaud-de-Couz (Savoie)
A challenging and demanding route: a steep climb at the start, a 5 km track, the Pas du Cuert and the return via a ridge littered with tricky sharp limestone pavements. Plenty of shade throughout the entire route (phew!). I’d rate it as very difficult due to the Pas du Cuert, the length of the walk and the descent from the plateau whilst tired.

Departure from Entremont-le-Vieux (Savoie)
Le Grand Carroz is at the centre of an area surrounded by a line of ridges, offering unobstructed and varied views. The proposed route climbs to the Col de la Drière, crosses Mont Pellaz or Lentille and the Col des Fontanettes, then climbs the Montfred ridge off-trail before returning via a forest path to the starting point. Caution: the ridge route is not technically difficult but runs alongside steep cliffs on the right-hand side.

Departure from Entremont-le-Vieux (Savoie)
Mont Outheran is a long plateau stretching nearly 4 km, running roughly north-south between Col du Planet (1,184 m) and Col du Grapillon (1,509 m).
It is a rather wild area, and for good reason: access via the Pas du Cuert is not the easiest, and the descent to the Col du Mollard requires the utmost caution.
Warning: For those prone to vertigo, please read the wpt description carefully (2)
