*'''Randonee''': Between mid June to August. Unless it has snowed recently, it’s very likely that skies will have to be carried the first half an hour or so.

===Plantat - Camp2===
'''5.5 hours'''
From Plantat the route ascends without losing altitude over hard snow (in late spring and early summer). Follow the trail (if visible under the snow) pointing to the northeast. After about five hours you will pass at the foot of a big glacier. Then, walk along a sort of wide couloir with gentle slopelow inclination. After nearly half an hour beyond the glacier water will be heard running between the rocks. This place lays at nearly 4200m, and there are several flat spots to pitch a tent. It is also normally the last place with running water along the ascent.
===Camp 2 - Camp 3===
Cross a small field of penitents. Then, looking south, mount on top of the ridge that ascends to the east. Once on top of this ridge, the crater is visible again, this time much closer. From this point onwards there are plenty of places to pitch a tent, but it’s preferably to keep walking until the edge of a (usually) big pack of snow. From there it’s possible to reach the summit in less than five hours if walking with a light rucksack. The path is now well marked: goes on along the ridge and dribbles the glacier, bypassing it on top. A good place to pitch the camp is shortly before the trail goes over the glacier. Hence, this third day is a rather light one.
