Itinerary description
From the parking, go back down along the road for some minutes and then steep up left towards Trou à l'Ours / Cinglo.
After the refuge, first take the left path always towards Trou à l'Ours / Cinglo, but then take the right path towards Cinglo. Follow it always up. At the top (Savolaires), be sure to go right for a nicer view before following the path down to Col des Pauvres.
At Col des Pauvres, stay straight / leftish towards Pont de Nant. Follow for Pont de Nant, until reaching a sign to the left showing back towards Trou à l'Ours. Climb up again until you reach Trou à l'Ours, through which you need to squeeze yourself.
Follow the path until you reach the refuge and and go down.
Estimated time of walking was 6h30, it took us 7h30 with about 45 minutes of pauses and due to the snowfields
Moderate for the last part reaching Savolaires and Trou à l'Ours.
We found some snowfields from around 2'100m to the top when climbing up, end of May 2020
