Fenêtre d'Ersaz, from Etirol

Introduction

Itinerary on wide, sunny slopes. From the pass the view of the Matterhorn is stupendous. 

⚠️ The last steep section to the pass requires attention in case of unstable snow.

Description

Rescend the meadows before the village until you come to a farm road leading into the valley. Follow it through the larch forest until you reach the wide upper slopes. Cross the slopes and then ascend to the right with no obligatory path. Cross the cross-country track and continue moving slightly to the left. Without ascending too much, head to the left following the farm road until entering the last little valley that leads to the pass. The last section is a little steeper and requires attention if there is too much snow.
