"The route follows a wide track through a larch forest, then continues on a trail through alpine meadows. The ascent to Tête Grosse is steep, but at the summit, the panoramic view of the Monges mountains, the La Blanche mountain range, and the high alpine massifs is breathtaking. During springtime, a burst of colours can be seen everywhere. Yellow hues dominate with the famous arnica, the large-flowered leopard’s banes, and the magnificent globeflower, among others. Blue shades are present with the germander speedwell, the field gentian, and the alpine bellflower. White tones emerge with the alpine pasqueflower, the Saint Bruno’s lily, and the northern bedstraw. However, some species stand out, such as the orange and the martagon lilies or the protected berardia lanuginosa. Feel free to bring a small book or use your phone to research and identify the flowers in the meadows. But remember that these species are a delight to behold, so please refrain from picking them.
