The physically challenging route leads from the village of Trient up to scenic Alp Catogne. On the descent, it continues into the narrow valley of Le Châtelard. Next to the steepest funicular in the world, the trail leads uphill again to Lac d'Emosson, where fantastic views of the Mont Blanc beckon.
