Description

From **Villar-d'Arêne**, go down to the small bridge that crosses the Romanche, then follow the GR50 diagonally up towards the W (right). At the end of the forest around 1750 m, go up full S, and on steep and regular slopes (including the well named "Côte Longue"!"), reach the front of the Tabuchet Glacier.
