    Rock Garden

Descente du Chenaillet à la Cabane des Douaniers. Le sentier n'est pas raide, mais comporte de nombreuses éoubgkes (certains nécessitant une bonne technique de nose). L'ensemble du sentier est un pierrier, la plupart du temps constitué de petits rochers meubles. On trouve des rochers plus gros sur les sections droites, mais ils sont immobiles et, à l'exception d'un seul passage plus technique (3 ou 4 mètres de long), il n'y a aucune difficulté particulière.

Descent from Le Chenaillet to Cabane de Douaniers. The trail is not steep, but there are many hairpins (some of them require nose-press technique). The whole trail is a long rock garden, most of the time the surface is made of small, loose rocks. Bigger rocks can be found on the straight sections of the trail, but they do not move at all and except for a single, more technical section (3 or 4 meters long), there is nothing particularly difficult.
