In the Bannkreis of the Grand Combin glacier giant and its vassals

We propose here an impressive circular tour that starts at the Mauvoisin reservoir and leads up to the Col des Otanes with a magnificent view of the ice-covered north face of the Combin with the huge Corbassière Glacier; the descent then goes down the other side of the pass to the Panossière Hut (Cabane FXB Panossière) on the moraine ridge above the glacier.

The path now crosses into the rock basin and you come to the junction of a high-level path into the Mauvoisin valley "Pazagnou". Just behind it you pass the outlet of a large debris flow and climb the opposite flank, furrowed by a few gullies, to the Alp La Tseumette.The continuation winds skillfully through the steep and rocky meadow slopes up into the next rock hollow descending from the Col des Otanes.
