Seasons
Avoid before mid-July (snow on highest cols). Accommodation busiest midJuly–end August. Sept is ideal and October can be good, though some accommodation shut in Oct.
Centres
Begins and ends at Bourg d'Oisins, passing through La Grave, Vallouise and La Chapelle-en-Valgaudemar
Difficulty
Tough.... perhaps one of Europe's hardest treks. Scrambling, but no technical mountaineering skills required. High, steep and remote in places, with some uprotected exposed sections... need a good head for heights.

page 81: At PONT DES FONTAINES do not cross the bridge (the route has been diverted), but remain on the right-hand side of the river until you come to the road through the Vallee d'Entraigues, and rejoin the described route at PONT DES PLACES.
page 92: In the final paragraph on this page please note that a new bridge has been built by the old house. This is where you now cross the stream.
page 95: LA CHAPELLE-EN-VALGAUDEMAR Please note that this is the last real opportunity to buy supplies until you reach Bourg d'Oisans at the end of the trek.
page 106: LE DESERT-EN-VALJOUFFREY Supplies are no longer available at the Bar des Ecrins, although meals are. A few basic foodstuffs may be purchased from the Auberge l'Eterlou
