Classic ascent:
From Valfréjus (1,600 m), head up the access road to Lavoir, watching out for skiers who use this route as a route back to the resort. Follow the summer route along the slopes of La Replanette and along Col de la Vallée Etroite. Refuge du Mont Thabor (2,502 m) is located to the west of the pass on a knoll (+900 m).
The shortest route:
You can also take the Valfréjus ski lifts to the Punta Bagna summit (2,730 m). Then descend the Jeu piste to reach the chalets of Fontaine Froide (2,050 m, -680 m). Cross the crest (2,290 m) to the west of Fontaine Froide to return to the classic ascent route (+450 m).
Access combined with a hike:
From the top of the Val Fréjus Punta Bagna pistes (2,730 m), head down to Col de Fréjus (2,530 m, -200 m). Climb the short but steep Argentier face (3,046 m, +516 m). Make your descent to Col de la Roue, then down its northern combe to the chalets of Fontaine Froide (2050 m, -996 m). Cross the crest (2,290 m) to the west of Fontaine Froide to return to the classic ascent route (+450 m). Good snow conditions are required.
