A pleasant climb to the Col Vallanta with its marmots and edelweiss.
At the pass, it's back to France! You can see the Viso refuge and the path you'll take along the torrent.
Descend through a scree slope, arrive at Lake Lestio, then descend along the torrent to the first car park, which is accessible to authorised visitors (not many!), then descend half-track/half-road to a huge car park (very crowded).... and finally, the descent to the road...... the black spot of the day: the road!!! ending this magnificent tour on the road spoils it a little.... but it's hard to do otherwise.
