Description
This route takes in the Haute Romanche valley in a dream landscape, facing the Meije. It's a lovely loop that will take you on a quick tour of the canton's mythical sites.
Departure from the village hall in La Grave, with a walk through this authentic mountain village, then up to the banks of the Romanche in a larch forest, where the river will refresh you before you enter the village of Villar d'Arène. The climb up to Lac du Pontet gives you the chance to take in the view from above. After a short, rather slippery traverse, you'll find yourself at the Col de l'Aiguillon. All that remains is to descend to the village of Valfroide. Passing through the small hamlets of the villages, the route then descends to La Grave for a relatively quick finish.
