Promoud · 2485 m
From La Thuile, climb the Rutor valley via La Joux, waterfalls and glacial lakes to Rifugio Deffeyes and Promoud bivouac.
You leave the La Thuile basin up the Rutor valley beside its three waterfalls, then the trail bends towards the Passo Alto (2,857 m), a stern gap among boulder fields where snowfields linger into July. The descent into the Planaval valley, beneath the walls of the Grande Rousse, reaches the tiny village of Promoud, whose gîte d’étape is the only support.

Geología y paisaje
Rutor valley: metamorphic bedrock and active glacial deposits. Retreating Rutor glaciers with proglacial lakes and recent moraines visible from the trail.
Historia y cultura
The Rutor waterfalls fed Italy’s earliest glaciological studies in the 19th century: sudden outbursts of the Santa Margherita glacial lake repeatedly devastated the valley until the basin drained naturally.
