Duration:04h30 Dénivelé positif en été:720 m Dénivelé négatif en été:720 m Distance en été:12.3 km Remarks: Description: From the entrance of the Sanctuary of Madone de Fenestre (1905 m), at the beginning of the departmental road, take a vaguely unmarked pathway on the left, which descends South on the grassy slope. Locate the road below by cutting two zigzags of this route (beacon 360). Follow this route on the right for a hundred meters and leave it at the beacon 361 (1840 m). Take the signposted pathway on the left, which will cross a hillock before ending in the valley of Prals. Via a footbridge, cross the stream and turn West to the right to go to the beacon 354. From there, follow the signposted pathway to the left to cross the valley of Moussillon by climbing gradually before reaching the mountain pass of Férisson (Baisse de Ferisson, 2254 m-beacon 297). Continue East on the pathway to the left to go under the Tête de la Lave (beacon 298). From there, stay on the signposted pathway till the top of the peak of La Valette de Prals (2496 m-beacon 299). Via the ridgeline, go down to the mountain pass of Prals (2335 m-beacon 365), from where, by a zigzag path on the left, you will reach the high plateau of Prals (2149 m-beacon 364). Ignore the pathway on the right to the lakes of Prals and stay on the left one to pass to the beacon 363 and continue to lose altitude in the valley of Prals. At the beacon 362, cross the stream to the right and, to reach the mountain hut of Madone de Fenestre, take the same route you took to go.
