 From La Bérarde, another alpinist centre in the Écrins Massif, the "Col de la Temple" offers a high, but comparatively easy crossing into the Vallouise for experienced glacier walkers.The climbing path runs over the southern branch of the Glacier Noir and then makes for the junction of both glacial arms before crossing the northern branch to the lateral moraine on the opposite side.The "Refuge Temple-Écrins" in the Haut Vénéon may be used as a base.
