Just over 350 m of ascent and around 750 m of descent are on the program for this second stage, which is nevertheless almost 13 kilometers long. The gradients are reasonable, but the climbs and descents are numerous.
This second stage, starting from the Refuge du Parmelan, takes you directly to the Plateau des Glières, a symbol of resistance during the Second World War.
Take advantage of this stage to contemplate the landscapes stretching out before your eyes from the ridges of the Parmelan and its lapiaz, an unusual landscape that seems to go on forever.
Once you've reached the Plateau, take the opportunity to visit the Monument National de la Résistance, inaugurated in 1972 with a speech by André Malraux, and now classified as a Historic Monument.
