Safety instructions

Small aerial passage on the first part of the hike.

Tips

Possibility to take the Col de la Breya to avoid the round trip on the same path. This variant is more demanding.

It is also possible to leave the main road at Bovernier and go through Les Valettes but the road is narrow and very winding.
