Lac Vert et Refuge de Terre Rouge

A short, power-hike climb above Valmeinier in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The hardest 500 metres average 18.2% and start 655 m in, in the middle of the climb, so pace the first part. Southeast-facing, so it takes the morning sun and clears of snow earlier in spring. Most runners need 12 to 20 minutes. At 2.1 TEP it sits in the easier half of the catalogue. On the SAC scale it is mountain hiking, with uneven ground that asks for some care.
