Inter-valley 102

A medium to high altitude trek for expert excursionists.

The mountain, by its very nature, presents a number of dangers (falling stones, adverse weather conditions, exposed areas...), so anyone who frequents it must be aware of the risks, and must exercise caution and common sense and adopt all the necessary preventive measures (choosing the appropriate route and equipment, finding out about the weather conditions, etc...). The high mountain hiking routes can be tackled from July to September.

Inter-valley 102 commences from Pont Suaz, in the municipality of Charvensod, it ascends as far as the chapel of San Grato, near Pila, then reaching the lake of ChamolÃ©, through coniferous forests and meadows. It then passes the panoramic ChamolÃ© Pass, and re-descends to the Arbolle Mountain Retreat, at the foot of Mount Emilius. The itinerary then proceeds inside charming green valleys, until such time as it surpasses, first, the Arbolle pass (3,155 m) - the highest altitude of the entire itinerary - and thenthe Laures pass, entering Â

intothe wild Grauson gorge, in a section that proposes alpine landscapes with meadows at a high altitude alternated with stoney ground and lakesof glacial origin. The trail then crosses the Saint-Marcel pass, which gives access to the uncontaminated gorge of Druges, thenonce again ascending as far as the Lavodilec pass, reaching the enchanting ClavalitÃ© valley. From the Medzove pass, it enters into the territory of the Mont Avic regional park , a natural park that spreads out over approximately 5,800 hectares of

very beautiful and almost entirely unspoilt territories. Having passed by several reflective pools surrounded by characteristic mountain pine, the itinerary stops off at the Barbustel Mountain Retreat, before descending, after a brief crossing into the municipality of Champorcher, as far as the chief town of Champdepraz.
