La Rue des Masques

This 7.1 km loop from the Champ de Foire car park crosses the jumbled rock formations of La Rue des Masques and passes the foot of Le Pain de Sucre de Guillestre. Allow around three hours for this moderately difficult route, with 199 m of ascent. Weather, snow and ice can make the trail impassable.
