Face N
From the Vallter2000 station, reach the Ulldeter refuge. From there, step onto the pistes, and climb the entire station by the pistes to the foot of the Col du Géant between the Pic de la Dona and the Pic du Géant (or Bastiments).
Cross the col as best you can (40° slope, cornices possible), descend the French side (Mourens valley) toward the northwest, always staying above the 2700 m contour line. You easily reach the foot of the imposing and easy north face of the Géant on the left.
In the center of the face, you can make out a broad funnel that climbs to the summit. Take it straight in line. The slope varies between 40 and 45°, or even a little more under the summit in periods of low snow cover. The route exits a few meters left of the west summit.
By the Géant's normal south route, via the Col de Marrana and the Ulldeter refuge.
- one ice axe is enough
Small very easy north face, with no notable difficulty.
Be careful in heavy snow conditions, the avalanche risk is serious!
This climb makes it possible to do a loop on the ascent, in order to avoid the crowds on the normal route via the Col de Marrana.
