Itinerary description
From the Col, follow for Pétra Félix.
From there, follow for Dent de Vaulion, leaving the main road on a path that goes up. After reaching Dent de Vaulion, the path is steep down for a short while, then along some sort of crest. When reaching a larger path, turn left and follow for Vaulion.
Through the village, do not go back towards Col du Mollendruz (unless you want to shortcut drastically) but follow for Gorges du Nozon for a while. After climbing up through a forest, do not follow the yellow signs downward but continue climbing up through the forest.
When reaching a larger path, turn right and follow it for a while. Follow for Chalet Devant and Chalet Dernier until you find signs leading you back to Col du Mollendruz.
Walked early April with few patches of snow around the Dent du Vaulion.
