The ascent was made from the junction with the RN 85, which means an extra 25 km of ascent and 300 vertical metres. The extra kilometres are a good warm-up. From La Chapelle, the climb is magnificent. Beautiful waterfalls, a mountain atmosphere and marmots.
The arrival at the refuge is nice, the cirque is impressive and the atmosphere is mountainous.
As for the climb, there were two very steep sections, the first at 5 km, 1200 metres at an average of 11.3 on my Garmin, and the second one kilometre before the finish.
Montée réalisée depuis l'embranchement avec la RN 85, ce qui fait 25 km de montée et 300 de dénivellation en plus. Les km supplémentaires sont une bonne mise en jambe. À partir de La Chapelle, la montée est magnifique. Jolies cascades, ambiance montagne, et marmottes.
L'arrivée au refuge est sympa, le cirque est impressionnant et on est dans une ambiance haute montagne.
Quand à la montée, deux passages très raides, le premier à 5 km, 1200 mètres à 11,3 moyenne sur mon Garmin, le deuxième un kilomètres avant l'arrivée.
