Hiking - Brèche Pacave – cable car departure 2400

Starting from the 2400 m cable car station, crossing the Brèche or the Pacave pass means venturing into high mountains and discovering the northern side of La Meije.
This passage offers an immersion in wild landscapes, where rocks and glaciers mingle, with breathtaking views of the Emparis plateau, the Aiguille du Goléon, and the Romanche valley.
It is recommended to check the snow conditions at the summit before taking this route, especially since the markings become barely visible in the high-altitude moraine, requiring good orientation skills and self-sufficiency.
