Description
Located in the Arves massif, the pointe d'Emy is a summit separating Albiez from Karellis and Valloire. This itinerary offers a wild, unspoilt setting for seasoned hikers in search of tranquillity and authenticity.
Departing from the Albiez-le-Jeune recreation area, your itinerary will take you to Albiez-Montrond, Col du Mollard to spend your first night at the Chalet d'la Croë, in alpine pasture beneath the Aiguilles d'Arves. The following day you'll reach the Club Alpin des Aiguilles d'Arves refuge (Valloire commune) via the alpine and challenging Epaisseur pass. From the refuge, you'll take a balcony trail to the village of Albanne for a 3rd night. The following day, via the resort of Les Karellis, you'll climb the pass below the Mont Tissot cross to return to Albiez-le-Jeune. This tour lasts 4 days and 3 nights.
