Col de Beugeant - Traversée Flégère village du Buet

Ascent

After the Index chairlift, take the Floria ski tow. Descend the piste slightly then make a long traverse underneath the Crochues until you turn the corner and need to put on the skins. Continue traversing to the Lac Blanc hut. From the hut go N by several small valleys to reach the base of the large gully leading up to the Col de Beugeant. Climb this finishing with a delicate traverse on rock, (crampons may be useful.)

In summer the paths to the Col de Beugeant are marked in blue from Anneuley and in orange en from Lavancheret
