Ascent to the refuge de Sales via the Dérochoir

A round trip for the day or with an overnight stay at the Sales refuge, this sporty hike will allow you to discover the Passy nature reserve and the Sales valley via the technical and aerial passage of the Dérochoir. Sensations and change of scenery guaranteed.

As you pass the Dérochoir, you will be in the heart of the limestone cliffs of the Fiz. Keep your eyes open for a tichodrome that may be flying near you; above you, the lammergeiers, which nest not far away, regularly pass by. The Passy nature reserve is a protected and regulated area. The wild fauna flourishes there, so please respect it. Dogs, even if kept on a leash, are forbidden, as well as motor vehicle traffic, fires and overflights, especially by drones. Bivouac is tolerated from 7pm to 9am.
