Route No. 5, 2Km (Red)

The route starts at the clearing in the woods following the last section of route four. At the "sommet des Sources" take the right hand track.

Route No. 8, 2.5Km (Red)

Starting at "la Rosiere" as in route seven, pass through the tunnel under the telepherique. Continue straight on crossing the access road. Crossing the bridge takes you over the melt waters from the "Glacier d'Argentiere. Keep on to the end of a small road from "Argentière", and head up a very steep section. This section of the track should perhaps be classed as a black route due to its difficulty. You finally reach a crossroads at a height of 1412m. Continue straight across passing "le Planet" below on your left. A wooded section takes you above "Montroc" before a fast down hill to "le Tour".
