6 hrs
Very difficult
Departure from La Motte-du-Caire (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
This hike has two contrasting sections: the start and the end take place on trails and pastoral tracks, which lend themselves to daydreaming. Crossing the ridges becomes technical (without major difficulties) as you approach the summit of Jalinier, with no real path but a passage open in the vegetation and the rocky ridge of the summit. With an unexpected exit to pass the summit bastion.
See practical information regarding the final section of the Jalinier summit.
