ITINERARY

At the edge of Les Eucherts, just before the Plan de l'Arc, take upper track towards the Combe des Moulins. Just after the bottom of the Fort chairlift turn right onto a pathway. At the sign for the "Source Captée", turn off onto the path on your left, which heads up the middle of the fields towards the pass. As soon as you reach the Traversette pass, turn right and walk around the side of the Combe des Moulins. Continue along the path around the mountain face for about 800m then climb up the path on your left to the ridge. After the next rock, you will reach the cross on top of the Mont Valezan. At the summit, take time to enjoy the unhindered views over Italy and the Mont Blanc massif. Take the same route back down to Les Eucherts.
