This path crosses a high ridge and includes a number of difficult stretches. At the summit, la Croix de Cassini offers a 360o panorama of all the surrounding peaks and ranges (Grandes Rousses, Aiguilles d’Arves, Taillefer, Meije, Râteau...).
The superb panorama includes glaciers of all types: dome-shaped, icefalls or hanging glaciers. It is a unique opportunity to discover crevasses, rimayes, ice tongues, seracs and moraines.
