This is an easy tour which can be undertaken right after a snowfall. In doubtful conditions it is advisable to ascend only to altitude of 2600 m instead of going to Pas de Lovégno. Every two years in March there is a ski mountaineering competition on this route.
Route description
Suen - Pas de Lovégno
From Suen - St. Martin (1429 m) ascend to the chalets of Les Tsijeraches (1605 m). Cross the road and traverse the long clearing until its upper end. Now follow a wide ridge to Plan Zenevrec (P. 2253 m).
This point can also be reached from the alp access road which leads to the pastures (in winter groomed as far as Buvette Grange Neuve, 1647 m). From there ascend obliquely on a foot path to Prabé (1946 m). After traversing a forest, turn left to join the route from Suen at Plan Zenevrec described before.
Continue on a ridge between the rocky humps Les Réchasses (2431 m and 2521 m) to reach a terrace at the foot of the western ridge of Becca de Lovégno (2555 m). Leave this long ridge to the left and ascend south-eastward on terraced, large slopes to Pas de Lovégno (2695 m).
Pas de Lovégno - Becca de Lovégno
From Pas de Lovégno (2695 m) ascend the wide S ridge northward. Shortly before the summit the slope gets very steep. Continue on foot or skis, depending on the conditions.
Descent
On the ascent or, if the the avalanche risk is low, ski down directly on the NW face.
