Our goal was Col de Péas (2629 m), south of Les Fonts. It was a straightforward itinerary along the GR58 with white/red markings. After having crossed a wooden bridge in Les Fonts, we reached the GR58 and headed south. With such a high starting point, we soon reached a high alpine environment where Pic de Rochebrune (3320 m) dominated the landscape on our right-hand side.

We reached an intersection where a trail forked right to Lac des Cordes. We continued straight and came to a steeper section of the trail where some surefootedness was required when climbing, and especially during the descent. Some patches of snow were still present by the trail in late July near the col.

The mountain pass comprised wide alpine meadows notably on its southern side. It was a great stop for our picnic. Several other hikers were recuperating there as well.

We used the same trail back to our starting point.
