Hiking - La Muzelle pass

One of the most prestigious legs of the GR54 is the mineral environment characteristic of the high alpine valleys.

"A few years ago, before serious restoration work, this pass was known, rightly so, as a black spot of the GR54 route. In wet weather, without a pickaxe it was difficult to drag yourself to the top of the slippery slope, where you would reach the pass with blackened fingernails. Today it is still a demanding high mountain route and needs an early start and a good physical condition".

Daniel Fougeray, head of the Valbonnais area

Caution: névé possible on the last parts in the spring that mean you may need crampons and ice axes.
