Fitness level
A long traverse across the flanks of Valpelline, covering 11.2 km from Ru (1694 m) to Place Moulin (1990 m) with 535 m of ascent. The EE rating reflects exposed sections and intermittently faint trail rather than sheer altitude. The route visits traditional alpine farms and overlooks the reservoir chain below, with sweeping views toward the Gran Combin and the Pennine Alps. Slope vegetation of rhododendron, juniper and larch frames the panorama throughout.
