Start the DéfiTrail challenge at the start of the Fauchère (km 0.7) if you want to time this climb and compare yourself with other trail-runners!

Continue on the balcony path to the Chapel Saint Christophe. Take a short break to discover this remarkable site that offers an exceptional panorama of the valley and the surrounding peaks. Once you bring back from the chapel, take the small path on the right towards Molignon. Arriving at the hamlet La Confraric, cross to join the river Borgne. Cross the bridge then turn right on the road that goes back on Evolène. The forest track leaves after 500 meters to a grassed track in the middle of the pastures, which you follow for 1km to reach Evolène and the arrival of this itinerary.
