9:50 Sortim de la casa de turisme rural i comensem a caminar carretera amunt.
10:10 Despres de creuar el riu ens desviem a l'esquerra per un cami marcat.
11:00 Arribem a Col de Judenhut on hi ha un refugi no guardat. Cal anar amb compte per que hi ha gent en bici baixant pel cami.
12:00 Seguint amunt s'arriba a Col du Grand Ballon. Pel cami ens hem trobat les restes d'un antic remontador d'esqui. A dalt del coll hi ha aparcament amb restaurants i botigues. Cal creuar la carretera per seguir cap al cim.
12:20 Arribem al cim sota una forta pedregada. Baixem tot seguit cap a un dels restaurants per aixoplugar-nos. Ni tansols parem a veure les instalacions de radar (Grand Ballon) del cim.
13:50 Un cop para la tormenta anem cap abaix seguint un altre cami ben marcat.
14:40 Pasem Col de Judenhut
15:25 Arribem a casa.

9:50 We leave the house and begin to walk along the road.
10:10 After crossing the river we turn left onto a marked path.
11:00 We arrive at Col de Judenhut where there is an unguarded shelter. Need to be careful with the people cycling down the path.
12:00 Following up you reach Col du Grand Ballon. On the way we found the remains of a former ski runner. At the top of the pass there is parking with restaurants and shops. You have to cross the road to continue towards the summit.
12:20 We arrived at the top under a heavy hail. Then we go down to one of the restaurants looking for shelter. We don't even stop to see the radar facilities (Grand Ballon) on the summit.
13:50 Once the storm is over we go down following another well-marked path.
14:40 We reach Col de Judenhut
15:25 Arribal home.
