Duration:06h30 Dénivelé positif en été:740 m Dénivelé négatif en été:740 m Distance en été:6.7 km Remarks: WARNING: Route without signposts. Requires map and compass, or GPS. Please note that this route includes a progression on scree. 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 left to the lake Noir. Once you have reached its dam, leave the signposted pathway to cross on the right the spillway of the lake. Go up Northwest on a pathway with cairns. The tiny pathway, which is far below the ridgeline, will then take a northern direction crossing several passages of scree before reaching the lake of Lusière (2640 m). From there, follow on the left the tiny pathway to turn West on the steep slope. You will reach by some zigzags the mountain pass of La Fous (Pas de la Fous-2828 m). From the mountain pass, take, off track, a direction North-North-East to go up to the Viglino peak (Cime Viglino-2910 m). The return to the mountain hut of the Valmasque (Refuge de Valmasque) occurs by the reverse route.
