Aiguille Verte > Lac de Lessy > Col de Sosay Map

A classic but beautiful hike in the heart of the Bargy. In summer time, going up to the Aiguille Verte is not difficult although it is a little steep and a little exposed to slips, especially upwards, in muddy conditions. It can also be done on skis during winter if there is good snow conditions. In winter, be aware of possible avalanches that may fall from the sides of the Aiguille Verte (south-east oriented). #backtopuremountain
