This extremely difficult 13.422-kilometer out-and-back hiking route will lead you to the stunning Monte Rotondo peak. Starting at the trailhead, you will first come across the parking area, where you can leave your vehicle. Remember to bring plenty of water and check the weather forecast before embarking on this challenging journey.

As you make your way along the trail, you will encounter the Source de Triggione spring at around 4.01 kilometers from the start, providing a refreshing stop to quench your thirst. Further along the path, at approximately 4.98 kilometers, you will reach Lac de l'Oriente, a beautiful water feature where you can soak in the scenic views.

At the halfway point, around 6.71 kilometers in, you will reach the highlight of the hike, Monte Rotondo peak. Take your time to admire the panoramic vistas from this vantage point before retracing your steps back to the starting point.

Throughout the hike, you will also pass by Chez Caesar restaurant for a meal break and Abri Helbronner shelter for a rest stop. Additionally, an information point near Monte Rotondo peak will provide you with more insights into the area.

Due to the length of the trail and the significant elevation gain of 1656 meters, this hike is recommended for experienced hikers. Make sure to wear appropriate hiking gear and be prepared for a strenuous trek.
