Hiking - Mountain pass by Côte Belle by the Desert

Crossing the flowery pasture of Côte-Belle results in a view across the western buttresses of Ecrins massif. 

«For decades we have taken up the challenge of consolidating the last stretch under the Côte Belle mountain pass on an unstable terrain. Very onerous for the park, we have undertaken the responsibility of recreating it. From 2013, the path heads in the direction of the Marmes mountain pass, it seems more agreeable with more stability and safety of the walkers».
