Walking loop to Col de Bramanette

The downhill start provides a comfortable warm-up kilometer before a serious climb in the cool of the forest. The smell of humus moistened by morning dew gives you the energy you need to reach the Bramanette refuge and take a well-deserved break. Take time to scan the ridges of the Dent Parrachée on the already sunny side of Aussois. The shepherd of the mountain pasture might even let you meet his sheep. But never fear! His faithful patous require
only the distance necessary for the well-being of their flock. Leave the chalets typical of high-altitude pastures. Your stride becomes
to reach the pass at 2855m. You may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of some chamois, accustomed to the surrounding slopes. The eastern slope now offers you the wild scenery of the Dents d'Ambin. So characteristic from their 3369 m altitude, they seem so close! Off you go to Lac du Liael and then the Montbas mountain pasture. Treat yourself to a truly contemplative rest. The sound of birdsong beckons you on your final descent through the forest to the church of St-Pierre-d'Extravache.
