Itinerary description

Easy trail, kids friendly. Forest, torrents, scree, névé: everything you need for a Sunday hike. Hiking shoes are highly recommended but some hikers are wearing good sneakers.
From the Cabane du Chazeau, the additional hike to Pierre Assis is a bit more difficult as the trail is narrower and required hiking shoes. Not recommended with young kids.
Spring or early summer, there is a fountain at the Refuge hut.
