Remarks:
Description:
From the mountain hut of Valmasque (2233 m), cross the spillway of the lake Vert, to the left of the dam. At beacon 98a, take the left pathway to get to the beacon 98 (2205 m).
From there, stop the descent and follow the right pathway to go up to the beacon 97 (2294 m).
Stay on the yellow marking to go down to the left towards the lake Noir, which you will along its right orographic bank. Then the lake Basto bank. At beacon 96 (2366 m), turn left on a tiny pathway on a grassy-pebbly stretch. Once you have reached the bottom of a steep wall, the slope will suddenly rise and the tiny path will go up by small zigzags before reaching the mountain pass of Fontanalbe (Baisse de Fontanalbe, 2574 m-beacon 397).
The return to the Valmasque mountain (Refuge de Valmasque) hut occurs via the reverse route.
