Hiking - Le Piolit via the Col de Chorges

A sporty hike that takes in the colourful mountain pastures leading up to le Piolit.

Le Piolit, the region's iconic peak, rewards the effort, with its steep gradients. This little-frequented route offers a wide variety of flowers to brighten up the climb. This bucolic atmosphere is succeeded by a rockier landscape which marks the end of the hard stretch and gradually reveals a more distant horizon from which the first 3000m of the Ecrins to the north and the lake of Serre-Ponçon to the south emerge.
