Description of the route

Leave the car at the mandatory point near the hamlet of Chez-Les-Blancs Dessus, in the municipality of Etroubles, and take route 4 which initially goes along the valley floor, then moves towards the ridge which goes up to Praz-Gallet (1626 m). After a few dozen metres on the private road, before the cabins you come to a crossroad and continue on the left, still on route 4, until you come to Alpe Ars (1975 m). From here, continue along the same dirt road, or alternatively, along the path below the pasture, until you come to Alpeggio Tardiva ( 2220 m) and, continuing along the path to Col Tardiva. Now take route 3 on the right, and follow the crest that bends to the left until you come to Pointe Chaligne.
