PRESENCE OF LASTING SNOWFIELD: ASK THE HUT MANAGER Description: From the mountain hut of Chambeyron (2616 m), go towards the lake and take the path that runs along it to the right. Climb up in zigzags until you reach the mountain pass of La Couletta (Pas de la Couletta, 2752 m). Ignoring on your left the path that joins the lake Long, go to the other side and down to the valley of Riou. At the intersection of the GR of Pays (2350 m), take this one on the left and cross the grassy plateau until reaching at the bottom of a small mount, the "Tête de Plate Lombarde". There, leave the GR and take the pathway that goes up on the left in the corridor of the pass Stroppia (Col Stroppia, 2865 m)). From the pass, go to the other side and down into terrain that quickly becomes stony. Once in the valley (2591 m), ignore the GR on the right and take the pathway on the left which rises in a stony corridor. Half-way, ignore twice the right path that leads to the mountain hut Barenghi and continue climbing staying on the GR. Once you reached the mountain pass of La Gypiere (Col de la Gypiere, 2927 m), go down on the other side till the lake des Neuf Couleurs (Lac des Neuf Couleurs, 2850 m). Follow the path that turns left and then go further along the lake Long. Just after the lake, ignore the pathway on the left which goes up the "Pas de la Couletta", but continue the descent till the mountain hut of Chambeyron (Refuge de Chambeyron).
