Description of the route
In Eternod, a hamlet of the municipality of Etroubles which can be reached by car or mule track, take route 17 which goes up to reach the private road for Montagne Barasson (1868 m). Just before the cabins, on the right of the road the path starts again which takes you into the valley and Montagne Crétoux (2074 m). The trail veers right, goes down to the stream and starts again on the other side of the stream. In a short time you come to a crossroad. Ignore the branch on the left marked 16, then turn right until your reach an altitude of approximately 2260 m, where the trail bends left and takes you to Montagne Paglietta (2320 m). From here, the same itinerary takes up up the last rocky step and, turning right at a crossroad, you come to the summit of Mont Paglietta.
