Itinerary description

Round trip from the Col de Puymorens carpark. Going up the normal route, there is often little snow once you pass the col. However, the views from the top are spectacular and there is often more snow on the SW face. From there you traverse right round the massif on a fun adventure through wild territory (some slopes towards the end are avalanche prone). It gets fairly flat, we didn't have to put the skins back on but did free our heels and pole/slide along some sections.

    Ruta muy bonita, especialmente la segunda parte. Esperando las primeras nevadas para descender con esquís.
