Trail – Kilomètre vertical des Fréaux
Here we discover the vertical kilometer of the Fréaux: a short distance, but a steep elevation gain. A breathtaking climb, and not only because of the view upon arrival at the Chancel refuge, perched at an altitude of 2506 meters.
This steep and demanding route begins at Les Fréaux, at an altitude of 1370 meters. You take a forest path following the cable cars of the Téléphériques des Glaciers de La MeijeThe route passes through Pierre Farabo and Côte Fine, before emerging at Lake Puy Vachier. At this point, the hardest part is over, and the view opens up onto the Buffe and Goléon valleys. If the refuge is manned, you can enjoy a home-cooked meal and refresh yourself on the terrace.
