la Tête du Parmelan

la Tête du Parmelan is a power-hike climb above Dingy-Saint-Clair in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. On the SAC scale it is mountain hiking, with uneven ground that asks for some care. Its steepest 500 metres run at 18.1% and come almost at once, before your legs have settled. At 2.5 TEP it sits in the easier half of the catalogue. Expect 14 to 24 minutes. The nearest named summit, Crêt des Outalays at 1,620 m, is 772 m away. North-facing, so it holds shade and snow longer than the sunny side of the valley.
