Enjoy 360° panoramic views from the Vanoise glaciers to Mont Blanc.
The peak takes its name from its rounded shape, similar to that of its big brother, and the gypsum that looks like snow.

PASSAGE DE PLASSA (8')
- walking time: 9h30
- distance: 24.7 km
- altitude difference: D+ 1300 m / D- 1300 m

COL DE MEY (8'')
- walking time: 8h30
- distance: 20.3 km
