The stage from Bourg-Saint-Pierre (1632 m) to the Cabane de Valsorey (3037 m) leads deep into the impressive high mountain landscape of the Grand Combin massif. Over about eight kilometres, it gains almost 1400 m. The almost continuous climb through the remote Vallon de Valsorey calls for good fitness and makes an impressive transition from the inhabited valley to the high alpine glacier world.
