Itinerary description

Circular walk from the bottom of Villard-Reculas, via le combe du bras, to Alpe d’Huez.

No technical difficulties, only quite steep and no shadow the first 4 km. So on a hot day (like today with 27 degrees) it can be tough, but after the climb, there is a forest full of shadow while descending to Alpe d’Huez.
