Hiking to the Pointe de Sales
Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval
The first summit in the north of the Fizz range, the Pointe de Sales seems inaccessible when seen from the Giffre valley. However, from the Sales refuge, access to this rocky promontory does not present any particular difficulty.
Guidebook with maps/step-by-stepFrom the Sales refuge, head east to reach the Tête de la Motte via the winding path, then stop to admire the breathtaking panoramic view over the Salles valley. The ascent continues on a more gentle slope across a plateau where mountain-dwelling animals can be observed. You can see the summit from the plateau. The path disappears among limestone chasms but the route is marked by a succession of cairns.
A short steep section ends at a large cairn which marks the summit of the Pointe de Sales.
Du 13/06 au 30/09 : ouvert tous les jours (de juin aux premières neiges).
