🥾🔴 Hike: to Cirque de Saint Même (Saint-Pierre-d’Entremont)
- ⚫ Not for beginners 🚫, aerial walk on the edge of a cliff 😲, guaranteed vertigo 😬, use of cables for climbing ⛓️, wet and slippery passages 💦👣, steep slope ⛰️📈.
🥾 We start from the 🚗 parking (alt ~850 m), past some views 🌄 and water crossings 🌊, through the forest 🌳 to reach the waterfall (1.5km, ~1000m) 🏞️. We then climb up to the top by the side of the waterfall, this is the hard part & can be wet and slippery 💦🧗♂️. There may be some handholds or cables to help 🛠️.
We hike up past the ‘pas de La Mort’ ❗❗ until the 3km mark (alt~1500m), then it flattens out and we leave Isère to cross over to Savoie 🔄.
We continue easily to Pré-Pratcel (5km ~ 1500m) 🚶♂️ and start to go up some more to get to a shepherd’s hut ( ~1700m) 🏡. This is our destination, it should be a good spot for lunch 🍽️ and a siesta 😴.
To return, we take the same path to Pré-Pratcel, then turn west at the signpost 🪧, and continue to St-Même- d’en- Haut, and then to the parking 🚗.
There are a few waterways along the return path for a dip 🏊♂️. For the more motivated folks, the big waterfalls are not too far 🏞️👣.
