Description

From the parking just after the bridge from La Draye, head back over the bridge and turn right on the small road (be aware this road gets very icy). Keep going along the road then turn off on the route to du Granon and follow this up the hillside. The road is a forest track in summer and you can cut the corners in a lot of places to make it shorter. 

Just before the Granon village turn off and roughly follow the torrent de Bramafan, its normally easier on skiers left bank following a ridge. Keep following the torrent until it comes to an open clearing, cross it and up a climb up the smaller valley until the trees start to thin out.

From here you can see the peak and the obvious line on it. Head to where it steepens and climb to the summit.

Descent.

Return by the same route. I tend to stick to the forest track rather than the cut throughs in all but very deep snow.
