Itinerary description
Difficult day hike or moderate 1.5 days with a night at the Refuge Elisabetta. Total is 22km round trip with about 1200 m ascent and descent.
All trails are marked but some sections are low quality (partially washed out by the weather), some scary scree, and short snow crossings.
1. Get to the road barrier at the top of Val Veny road (after La Visaille) - park your car or take the Val Veny bus all the way up.
2. Walk up to Refuge Elisabetta via Refuge Combal (good food and coffee!) for 2-3 hours. Must book well ahead to stay the night here, by phone or email.
3. Walk up the valley to Col de la Seigne along TMB for 1-2 hours.
4. Walk left (south) from the pass roughly horizontally to a saddle with great views for 1-2 hours.
5. Keep walking approximately on the same level to Mont Fortin for 1 hour. Great 360 degree views.
6. Descent from Mont Fortin to join TMB trail and to Refuge Combal, then on to the car park in the valley below for 2-3 hours.

Ciao David ...da Chavanne al colle de la Seigne poi giù all Elisabetta è fattibile il Mtb ? è molto rovinato ?
@Danmtb For expert MTB only. Some parts are too steep and some small parts are ruined.
Thank You ...David 👍
