Guided steps

From the car park, go along the gravel track towards Chalet Blanc, at the heart of the pastures. After 1.3 km, go left along a small footpath towards the foot of the Pointe de Chalune. Then go along a hillside path to the right, towards the Col de Chalune. The footpath on the left leads to the Pointe de Chavasse. From the Col de Chalune, a 30 to 45-minute walk along a steep path will take you to the peak, at an altitude of 2,116 m.
