Description of the route

At Eaux-Rousses, in the municipality of Valsavarenche, take trail AV2. This itinerary crosses (towards the right) a grassy meadow and enters a conifer wood where it starts to climb gently in diagonal bends. It then comes out onto open pastures, and winds slightly among the last larch trees, then comes out onto a grassy crage which leads onto the Orvieilles plain. Here you will ifnd the hunting lodge of King Victor Emmanuel II, now the park guard’s lodge. Go past this structure and the trail continues on the left on open ground touching the Djouan alp, then goes up large pastures and past a few alpine lakes. The trail then climbs steeply, winding towards the right, at the base of a modest rocky wall, and the final diagonal bend takes you to Col Entrelor.
