Trail running - Les Fréaux Vertical kilometer
Come and enjoy the breathtaking Fréaux vertical kilometre, through steep and sinuous single trails that will lead you up to Chancel Mountain Hut. Very little distance for a maximum of elevation gain, great overviews garantee!
This steep and demanding trail, starts from Les Fréaux village at 1370m above sea level and takes you up in the woods with as a landmark the yellow, orange and red gondolas of the Meije's Glaciers cable cars that will follow you most of the time. You will run past La Pierre Farabo, through Côte Fine to finish nearly at the top at Puy Vachier Lake. Behind you the view will open up on the Buffle and Goléon valleys, and from now only a few steps needed in order to reach the mountain hut. If the hut is open you will have the chance to enjoy a home cooked meal with a fresh drink on the terrace.
