IGN cards
Description
This challenging hike takes you from the verdant alpine pastures of Plan de la Laie to the Refuge and Col de la Croix du Bonhomme via the impressive Gittes ridge. The ascent of the tête Nord de Fours offers breathtaking views of Mont Blanc.
From the parking lot of the Plan de la Lai refuge, the path gradually rises towards the Col de la Sauce (2307 m). The mountain pastures give way to steeper terrain, leading to the Col de la Croix du Bonhomme via the impressive Gittes ridge. From the col, continue to the Col de la Croix du Bonhomme refuge. The final ascent takes you to the south face, the Col des Fours, before reaching the north face of Les Fours (2756 m). Exceptional panorama of Mont Blanc.
