La Suche, from L'Ermitage

Introduction

Nice snowshoe ascent to a beautiful viewpoint.

Description

From the Ermitage (1443m), climb up through the forest (signpost) obliquely to the south-east until you reach a fork (1581m, signpost) to take the path up from Plan Gorret. You now climb up to the left (north-east), on the fairly obvious mule track, watch out for a pronounced bend to the right (red signpost) and a steep section leads to a fork (signpost). Go uphill to the left and soon exit the forest. You leave some huts on the left (1730 m) and soon reach La Suche (1810 m, 2h00').
The return journey is by the same route as the outward journey (1h00').
