Park at the Étages parking lot and follow the RD 530 towards Saint Christophe en Oisans for 600m. The trail starts at the roadside. It quickly rises to reach the foot of the rock. This part is steep and stony.
The path then continues through a series of rocky ledges before reaching the foot of a good grassy ridge. We skirt this ridge on the west side to reach the summit at around 2760m. The Aiguille Dibona and the refuge du Soreiller, just below, can be reached in around 20 minutes.
Return along the classic path to Le Étages.
Please keep dogs on a leash at all times of year.
