Leaving the hut, reverse your final tracks from yesterday, but then head pretty much due S up onto the Evettes Glacier. The exact route varies, but it takes a sneaky rising traverse, missing out the worst of the crevasses and avoiding the steepest ground. You are heading for a shoulder at about 3470m called the Selle de l’Albaron. From here it is skis on packs and a lovely mixed ridge, never too difficult, but definitely mountaineering, to the summit of the Albaron at 3637m. This is a fine viewpoint and one of the tallest peaks in the area.

Descent from the summit block is to the SW, with a fixed rope in place, and is usually descended via a short rappel. Most descend to the Avérole Hut, but when I was there we did a descending traverse to about 2970m, before a short skin up to the Passage de Colerin at 3207m. The far side of this is a steep couloir, 40-45 degrees, but not for too long, as it opens out and eases off below. Mellow slopes then descend and traverse around a long rocky ridge then to the Gastaldi Hut at 2659m.
