Technical Information

Route

From Cunéy mountain hut the route descends for a short distance across several ridges, then heads to the right, skirting the base of a rocky area before rising slightly to a grassy plain.
After a short climb to the right it reaches Col Chaleby.
From here, the path descends the steep slope to a basin, where there are the remains of a mountain chalet, and then climbs sharply, crossing a rocky stretch to reach Rosaire-Clermont bivouac.
Climbing up the steep rocky slope, you reach Col de Vessonaz.
The descent, at first, passes steeply through rock debris, after which, keeping to the right under a modest rocky buttress, you reach the summer pastures of Arp Damon.
The route continues on to the right into a small rocky valley, at the end of which there is a conifer wood, leading to the vast grassy plain of the summer pastures of Arp Vieille.
From here the path crosses the plain, enters a wood and descends until it reaches a clearing. From Vernosse the trail goes to the village of Oyace, where there is a stopover place for overnight stays.
