This west Ridge is a must-have route !

It is esthetic, great atmosphere, technical, but short and one of the few accessible the day from the top of the grave / the meije cablecar (pass not included in guide price)

Adapte also to children, for a covered of the real high-mountain

glacier approach, 1 pitch in steep snow, Easy rocky terrain, a few climbing part level 3-4, an altitude peak, a crazy view, a descent in climbing and abseiling. all with a light backpack and a good snack on the way

It is the highest summit of the massif. It is actually composed of two different heights: the Ecrins snow dome (4015 m) and La Barre des Ecrins.

the itinerary here borrows the beginning of the normal route, before forking, to follow the Northeast Ridge. barely harder than the classic way of the bar, this path actually a original and very aesthetic way. a kind of "crossing of the ecrins".

When conditions allow, we can also climb the North corridor of black bar, a steep snow route, then continue on this crossing.
