Itinerary description

This is a really beautiful walk that will give you the opportunity to admire the cirque and its peaks from all kinds of angles.

The climb is quite steep at times, but it won't take more time than indicated on the signposts.

From the Belvedere you have wonderful views but from the Lunette d'Obversation yiu will have the chance to watch the vultures through a telescope. This point is also a great one to have a picknick.

The descent is more gradual than the climb but there are a few steep passages along rolling stones.
