At the end of the effort, the reward… the summit of Illhorn, a 360° panorama and a breathtaking view of the entire Rhone Valley! This spectacular sight alone justifies this route, which you will be tempted to do again. Often.

| Useful information | Follow the luge/Illhorn track for about a hundred meters, then the route turns right into the forest. After a first small ascent, the route crosses the alpine pasture road. At the crossing, first take the right, then quickly take the path going up to the left in the forest (summer hiking trail), which leads to the Etable (first alpine pasture). Cross the luge track and take again the summer hiking trail through the forest. Leaving the forest, below the ski club Veyras cabin, go up toward it and cross the track (a road), continue to ascend towards the Illsee pass, you will cross two more tracks (two roads). Then climb in a zigzag to the Illsee pass. One last climb along the ridge allows you to reach, first, the summit of the Illhorn ski lift, then the summit itself (2716 m). |
