Pointe Poele Chaud Map

Climbing by the forest to the "Pointe de Poele Chaud", edging until the "Col de Porte" and going down by the "poele chaud" masif. Enjoyable climb by the forest, nice path and easy going with an awesome edge view over the Alps. Amazing sunrise not to lose. The way down has so many variants, to avoid the inmediate forest if not known.
