Penser à réserver vos nuits et vos repas en refuge à l'avance. Pour la deuxième nuit, il est possible de dormir au Refuge de La Cantonnière si le Refuge Ferran n'est pas disponible.
Seule la troisième journée est difficile mais il est possible de trouver des alternatives beaucoup plus faciles si le temps ou la forme des participants l'exige.
