The Col des Peygus is a very scenic ski touring route once you've passed the Chalets de l'Izoard. The ascent is not particularly difficult in terms of altitude, but rather in terms of length.
From Le Laus de Cervières, follow the groomed track towards the Col de l'Izoard.
Halfway to the pass, leave the track and turn right into the forest, towards the Chalets d'Izoard.
Once past the chalets, panoramic views open up all the way to the Col des Peygus.
Follow the gpx track to the highest point.
Because of the risk of avalanche, we strongly recommend that you wear full safety equipment (avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe).
Ski touring is a risky activity, and all skiers are responsible for their own safety.
It is therefore strongly recommended to hire a mountain guide to supervise outings in unmarked and unsafe areas.
It is also advisable to prepare your outing well in advance: consult the BRA (Bulletin d'Estimation du Risque d'Avalanche), check the inclination of slopes on the Géoportail slope map to avoid itineraries on slopes of over 30°, and check with the guide office to find out whether conditions are favorable.
