Hiking - Col des Acles

Far from the crowds, this wild hike takes you through the magnificent Acles valley, eventually reaching the Col des Acles, marking the border between Italy and France.

The variant leading to the Acles via the Plateau des Écureuils is strongly discouraged due to severe erosion in the scree under the Pointe de Pécé. Crossing these gullies and couloirs is tricky and could put hikers or inexperienced walkers at risk.


Bring a hat/cap for protection from the strong sun. Several liters of water, sunglasses, sunscreen, and hiking poles recommended.
