Only the bordermarkers on this stage are shown (and some adjoining ones). The main route is red, the variants are blue. Click here for an fullscreen interactive map.

In short

This is a well waymarked route from Port d'Orle (bm420) descending to the lovely hamlet of Montgarri and then climbing back to the borderridge to Passage de la Lègne (bm420bis).

Considerations
At Passage de la Lègne a bivouac is not obvious. You should either choose the bassin of "Renadge d'en haut" south of it (but bring your water, no fresh water there) or continue in 1 à 1,5 hours to Étang Long where you'll have a splendid spot to pitch your tent.
