Tips

Please note: this itinerary includes a passage with a footbridge which is removed during the winter, making the hike inaccessible during this season. The footbridge is reinstalled at the end of June. Please contact the Tourist Office to confirm whether the footbridge is currently installed.

- Please check weather conditions before setting off.

- This hike takes place in summer when there is no more snow.

- Inform someone of your itinerary, as communication may be limited.

- It's best to leave in the morning, so as not to be surprised by the dark, and let someone know if you're going alone.

- The routes you take are your own responsibility.

- Choose an itinerary suited to your physical and technical ability. If in doubt, don't hesitate to contact mountain professionals.

- Make sure you're properly equipped for safe hiking and weather conditions. There are a few things you can do to make your experience safer and more enjoyable. Walking poles improve balance in the event of icy crampons, and regular hydration is essential.

Carry a water bottle and snacks to keep your energy up. Protect yourself from the sun with sunscreen and sunglasses. Don't forget binoculars to add a touch of observation to your adventure.
