Itinerary description
Scenic loop by Pralagnon over five mountain cols: Col Rouge, 2731m - Col Chanrouge, 2531m - Col du Rateau, 2688m - Lac du Rateau, 2240m - Col de Saulces, 2456 m - Col du Mône, 2533m.
Rated difficult for length and elevation gain. Trail well marked and clear except for section from Col Chanrouge to Col du Rateau. For this section the trail is faint or requires looking for rock cairns for route on a technical path. Coming down from Col du Rateau the path is at first steep on loose scree which requires care, but then straight forward and well marked with rock cairns. Beautiful route!
