From Valfréjus station, follow the tarmac road – with some unpaved sections – towards the hamlet of Le Seuil. After passing the chairlift terminus, park in a lay-by to the right of the road before crossing the Ruisseau du Seuil.
(S/E) Cross the stream and take the path on the left which leads back down alongside the stream. At the first junction, take the path on the right towards Mont Rond and head for the Col de Mont Rond.
(1) Go round the signpost, take the first path on the right and continue uphill to the first junction. There is a post marked ‘ONF’ and the remains of a signpost.
(2) Take the path on the left which descends via a few hairpin bends, thereby skirting a rocky escarpment. Then climb back up via a few hairpin bends amongst the rhododendrons. The path is sometimes poorly marked but can be found, particularly by its markings on the terrain.
(3) After the hairpin bends, continue along the ledge path, which is fairly easy to follow and frequently marked with yellow markings.
(4) Pass under a rock and emerge onto a scree slope where the path has disappeared. Cross this slope, descending slightly. On the other side of the slope, you’ll find a path that’s fairly well marked on the topographic map. Follow it uphill. Pass through the middle of an avalanche barrier (a wall of large stones), built during the interwar period. The final section of this ascent is poorly marked; do not hesitate to head up to the ledge above, where a well-marked path runs.
(5) Follow this path to the right (the one on the left leads to scree). Continue along the balcony path, which offers lovely views.
(6) Begin the descent along a fairly well-marked path. Be careful at the start of a grassy slope: keep to the right and do not head down this slope. Join the ascent route.
(2) Follow it in the opposite direction to the ascent and return to the car park (S/E).
