Peak of Crève Tête

At the top, a cross and an exceptional 360° panorama that leads the eye to Les Aravis, the Beaufortain, the Mont Blanc, La Vanoise, Les Encombres, La Lauzière...and in the background the Meije and the Ecrins!

Above the hamlet of Novallay, the path winds through a pretty valley and leads to the Gollet pass (1971m).
