Steps

Légarce Plateau

From Col du Bergout, head right between the two cabins. Go up along the chicken wire, straight into the slope. Fork right on a track and get onto a stony path along a fence. Distance yourself from the fence to go up a lovely grassy slope towards the Cabane de Légarce. Before the cabin you'll reach a slight flat.

Crêtes du Layens

Start the descent to the west by following the ridge towards a weather station. Continue the descent until you reach a flat. Fork right and take a fairly direct steep track. After this grassy section in the karstic side turn left when you see a passage at the foot of the rocks.

Points of interest

Wildlife and livestock safety

You can hear a jingling noise as you approach the fence under the Cabane de Légarce. This barrier stops livestock venturing onto slopes that are too steep. The noise and reflection of the metal plaques warn birds of barbed wire.
