A pleasant circuit leading back to Ailefroide
Of course, it is possible to reach Ailefroide directly by car, but making your way there on foot makes your discovery of the area more interesting. Surrounded by high walls of granite, a paradise for climbers, this former alpine pasture hamlet has lost none of its charm, even without the houses that once stood here. Very lively in the summer, the village quietens down again at the end of August.

- TipsIn the avalanche path, you have to cross a mountain stream (no footbridge) This mountain stream is relatively easy to cross, but it can swell in early summer due to snow melt, on days of heavy rain or after a storm.
Exercise caution when crossing the road, in particular on the downward path.
Check weather conditions before setting off.
