Duration:07h00 Dénivelé positif en été:970 m Dénivelé négatif en été:970 m Distance en été:9.9 km Difficulty:à traduire (en) Remarks: WARNING: The end of the climb requires a few steps of easy but vertiginous climbing.. PRESENCE OF LASTING SNOWFIELD: ASK THE HUT MANAGER. Description: From the mountain hut of Maljasset (1903 m), join the road and take the pathway that goes up almost in front of the mountain hut. After an ascent in meadows, the pathway will turn to the left for a traverse in arid terrain, then face the slope for a steep climb up to the valley of Séchoirs. From there it joins the GR5. Take it on the right to continue the ascent along the left orographic bank of the valley. Don't take shortly after the pathway that goes to the right, but continue on the GR5, pass the pastoral hut of Girardin, and reach the bottom of the mountain pass (2600 m). A last climb in zigzags will allow you to reach the pass of Girardin (Col de Girardin, 2699 m). From there, follow the tiny pathway on the ridgeline to the right. Continue past the old observatory. Girardin's head (Tete de Girardin, 2870 m) and his cairn can be seen quickly at the top of a small rocky outcrop which must be climbed at your best. The return to the mountain hut takes place via the reverse route.
