The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
High-altitude wild camping accessible only by 4x4 via a very steep and narrow track from Pierre Grosse. Exceptional views over the French Alps, absolute peace and remarkable alpine flora. Mountain terrain with flies in summer. Avoid in wet weather (mud risk). Exclusive 4x4-only access and physically demanding route.
Highlights
- Spectacular views of the Alps
- Absolute peace and quiet
- Remarkable wild alpine flora
Good to know
- Very difficult access (4x4 mandatory, very steep path)
- Private land; potential conflict with livestock owners
- Heavy fly presence in summer, unbearable in humid weather
Motorhome access : Very difficult: extremely steep and narrow path, accessible only with a robust 4x4. Former ski track as access road. Mud possible when wet. Very limited maneuvering space.
