The panorama discovered at the top of the Petit Bargy will enchant hikers wishing to contemplate the greater part of the Aravis Range<\/a>.
\nMade of limestone, the imposing Bargy Massif is ideally located for a discovery of the Aravis. Also, many ibexes have settled on the steep slopes of the Bargy, and it is very common to meet them behind a rock. The itinerary describes a loop that climbs from the mountain pastures of Malatrait to a forest before getting through a very steep scree, followed by a passage in the lapiaz of the T\u00eate des B\u00e9cus to reach the summit of Petit Bargy. The summit is not indicated by signs: only an IGN marker at its top materializes its existence.
\nThe descent goes through the Col de l\u2019Encrenaz that overlooks Lac B\u00e9nit<\/a>. An exposed passage requires sustained attention; The use of a cord for children can be useful. The route is ranked average not by the requested effort that is very reasonable, but due to several delicate passages, notably the short scree during the ascent, and especially the Col de l\u2019Encrennaz that can prove to be dangerous and block people who are afraid of heights.
