Cirque du Grand Marchet

Cirque du Grand Marchet is a very steep climb above Pralognan-la-Vanoise in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Its 8.0 TEP puts it above 72% of catalogued climbs.

On the SAC scale it is mountain hiking, with uneven ground that asks for some care. Southeast-facing, so it takes the morning sun and clears of snow earlier in spring.
