Via Ferrata
Recommended for beginners. It's a very nice route.
The via ferrata start off with a small wall and brings you above Valloire where you have a magnificent panorama. There is plenty of equipment which makes the climb easy. You keep going over several slabs to get to an aerial ledge on your left.
Once again you'll have some slabs and short traverses to get to a grassy platform. Here you have two options
A) go into the "Grotte" (cave) on the left, a very easy route
B) go right and you'll get to the summit via a series of slabs and some grassy sections.
Way Back
The way down is on a dirt trail that leads you to the hamlet of Poingt Ravier. From here you will find the "éco-sylve" trail or the Borgée trail.
