The path passes close to the border of the plateau, made up of heavily eroded granite. The sandy slopes are the fruit of this erosion.At marker 437, turn left towards the Lac des Adus. As you climb higher, you will leave the forested areas and a vast panorama over the high summits will become visible.The path then heads downwards in stages towards the Lac des Adus.After passing close to the refuge located between markers 395 and 396, the path heads down into the denser subalpine forest before linking back up with the carpark which was the starting point of the hike.
