Description

From the top of the Grand Col Ferret, you will descend on the mythical route of the Tour du Mont-Blanc!

Directions

From La Fouly and the Tourist Office follow the road to Ferret to the hamlet of Le Clou and leave the road on the right. Follow the river until you reach the bridge of La Léchère and reach the gite of La Léchère. Continue the ascent passing in front of the mountain pasture of La Léchère Dessus and then follow the direction of the small Ferret pass. Rejoin the pass and the border marker then switch to the Italian side before crossing via a small path to the large Ferret pass. Then follow the itinerary of the tour of the Mont-Blanc via the alpine pasture of La Peule and then stay on the balcony path in order to return to La Fouly by the same itinerary as at the beginning of the tour.
