From the bend that starts from the Chivasso Refuge located above the Chivasso Refuge, a path leads to Col Agnel. Cross a tributary which flows into Lake Agnel, which can be seen below. Reach a fort from the Second World War from which begins a rather steep descent that winds, then becomes more gentle in a diagonal which passes first behind the farm, then towards another small fort. While following the curve of the contour, this variant joins the main path towards Col de Lose. From there, a beautiful landscape opens out. To the right of Lake Serrù in the foreground, the Capra Glacier, Cime d’Oin and Cime de la Vache are in sight. After this long traverse that goes around the lake, you reach a rocky outcrop that you can climb in two ways. Either with the help of fixed ropes, or by losing a few metres of altitude to go back up a little further on. After that, a short traverse equipped with cables reaches the Pian Ballota Refuge.

As soon as you momentarily leave the rocky part that surrounds the refuge, you pick up the route which overlooks the roof. It is fitted out with fixed ropes and iron steps embedded in the rock. Continue on a fairly steep grassy slope that runs alongside the Plan de la Ballota waterfall. To access the plateau, you end with a last steep section equipped with steps and handrails. This complex part is certainly the most exposed and requires careful attention from the hiker. After the bridge that crosses the stream and the alluvial plain, you reach a part of the scree that heads up towards the south. A rocky boulder signals the right turn towards Col de la Lose. The trail ends at the foot of a route consisting of handrails and ladders sometimes vertically or horizontally. This section lasts at least 1/2hr.

At the col, an orientation table sits on this ideal spot to observe the panorama overlooking Grand Paradis. On the other side, the peaks in the foreground surround the Prariond Valley with the Grande Motte glacier as a backdrop. From the start of the descent, an elevated steep path gives access to a lake that you skirt around on the right. Then, the slope becomes gentle and passes along the edge of the cliff 2850m up to large cairns erected where a path crosses to the right towards Col de la Galise. Continuing west, a small section of slabs marks a change of inclination but not to the same degree as the Italian side. On this green slope, marmots regularly appear. In the last hairpin bends, a wonderful gorge dominates the Prariond Refuge located 100m below (2324m).
