17 (BLEU) – LE PIC DE L’ESCALETTE

Steps

Step 1

Take the forest track leaving from the left of the Cabane du Col de Menté (1,346 m). The track climbs steadily without being difficult and remains very pleasant.

Step 2

At the edge of the forest, the track levels out and the hut (1,598 m) is a few dozen metres away.

Step 3

Here, continue along the path climbing up the hillside on the right. When you reach a small pass (1,825 m), climb up a small, easy corridor leading to the summit (1,856 m).

Step 4

Retrace your steps back to the Escalette hut. Continue along the track for a few metres, then take the path downhill on the right (signposted) which will take you to the Col de Menté.
