The Pic Nord des Cavales is an impressive granite monolith that has always attracted climbers thanks to its situation and the quality of its rock.
About : Pic Nord des Cavales (3,158 m)
At first, the route follows the GR 54, then leaves it in the Pas d'Anna Falque to join the right bank of the Romanche. At the Valfourche bridge, continue on the left bank of the Torrent des Cavales. There are two ways to reach the Pavé hut : stay on the edge of the moraine and follow the path to the bottom of the valley, then cross horizontally to the right (heading north-east) to reach the hut, or descend into the talweg formed by the moraine to the right and follow a steep path that slopes over the rocky bars (cables) that defend the entrance to the Cirque du Pavé (faster but tricky).
The mountaineering route starts on the second day from the Pavé refuge to the summit of the Pic Nord des Cavales.
