This is an easy walk, mainly on paved or unpaved tracks (some are necessary), which nevertheless offers constant views of the Meije massif, wide open spaces around you, and a bright route rich in discoveries.
What's more, this route is ideal for Nordic walking.

A hike offering superb views of the Meije glaciers as well as the Emparis plateau.
Whilst the Emparis plateau is renowned for its views of the Meije, it is naturally very busy. This hike allows you to enjoy the same views whilst walking in a wilder setting.

Departure from La Grave (Hautes-Alpes)
To reach the hamlet of Chazelet, you can drive there (handy for popping out for an ice cream with the family). You could do a round trip following part of the GR®50–GR®54 trail or, as shown here, go via the Notre-Dame de Bon Repos Chapel and take the opportunity to see the magnificent waterfall above the hamlet of Fréaux. In any case, the view of the glaciers is spectacular.
