Description

A varied, sporty hike, between forest under the Aravis combes and alpine pastures for the sustained final climb to the refuge.

Passing from chalet to hut (Chalet de Paccaly, Refuge et chalets de La Bombardellaz, Refuge de Gramusset, ...) with numerous viewpoints over the various Aravis combes.

Don't miss the opportunity to have a drink and a bite to eat at Refuge de Gramusset, below Pointe Percée, the highest point in the Aravis Range (2752 m). Breathtaking panoramic views and the chance to spot ibex.
