Starting point
Steps
Légarce Plateau
From Col du Bergout, head right between the two cabins. Go up along the chicken wire, straight into the slope. Fork right on a track and get onto a stony path along a fence. Distance yourself from the fence to go up a lovely grassy slope towards the Cabane de Légarce. Before the cabin you'll reach a slight flat.
Crêtes du Layens
Start the descent to the west by following the ridge towards a weather station. Continue the descent until you reach a flat. Fork right and take a fairly direct steep track. After this grassy section in the karstic side turn left when you see a passage at the foot of the rocks.
