L'Aiguillon

Villar-d'Arêne
Take the family to the summit of Aiguillon, with a 360° panorama of the Romanche valley, the Ecrins massif and its glaciers.
Join the departmental road at the top of Villar d'Arène. Cross it at a small shed (be careful) to find a path that climbs into a wooded valley and then, after a few bends, reaches a small road.

Go back up for 50 meters and continue on the left track.

At the next junction, take the path on the right and then turn left to cross the grassy slope. You will reach a crossroads on the ridge (2 m). Take the path on the left to reach the summit of Aiguillon (058 m, panoramic view).

Return to the crossroads on the ridge and continue straight ahead for 60 m.

Take the path that goes off to the right and evolves along a balcony before descending to Lac de Pontet.

Go around the lake on the right and descend along the track to the hamlet of Chazelet. A few meters after the barrier, take the small path leading off to the left, descend, and return to the small road you came from.

Return to the parking lot by following the ascent route.
