Country:
District:
Park in the village of Le Lauzet; there is a large car park next to the lake.
(S/E) Leave the car park by heading uphill to the left along Rue du Pied du Village or Rue d’en Haut. These two streets run through the village.
(1) On leaving the village, head downhill towards the cemetery, keeping the same direction, until you reach the old railway line.
(2) Stay on the old railway line and continue straight ahead.
(3) Cross over the Ubaye before reaching the old tunnel.
(4) Retrace your steps, crossing the Ubaye again, and arrive at the fork from the outward journey.
(3) Head down to the right, passing through a small passageway under the railway line. Join the road that takes you over a bridge across the Ubaye and continue along the road until you pass between two houses.
(5) Take the small path running alongside the house on the left. This path cuts across a circular section of the road, which you will rejoin further up. Follow the road until the tarmac ends.
(6) Just after the ford, leave the main track and head uphill on the right bank, following the Ravin de la Blache. Very soon, a path stays closest to the stream, offering views of the waterfalls. You’ll eventually reach a small beach.
(7) Retrace your steps, then head back up to the right towards the road. There are no markings on this section, but the path is visible.
(8) Follow the road to the right, which descends slightly to the hamlet of Costeplane.
(9) In the middle of the hamlet, at a bend, leave the road and head up to the left along a small path. Quite quickly, the path becomes a balcony path; as you go, the view opens up, offering a panorama as far as Lake Serre-Ponçon. At the highest point, you arrive at the old Falalo farm.
(10) Cross the large clearing, keeping to the left (you can also cross by staying in the middle of the clearing). As the path is rarely used, it is no longer clearly visible. You will reach a junction with a path.
(11) Continue left, towards the hamlet of Dramonasc, to visit its chapel at the end.
(12) Retrace your steps back to the fork.
(11) Start descending to the left, following a magnificent old stone wall, and join a track suitable for vehicles with space to park a few cars. Continue down to a fence on the left
(13) Walk down past the gate to reach the road.
(14) Follow the road to the left as it descends to the medieval bridge known as the “Roman” bridge. Cross the Ubaye on this bridge and head back up to the village via a path, turning right. You will reach the fork from the outward journey.
(1) Return to the car park, crossing the village via one of the two streets: Rue du Pied du Village or Rue d’en Haut (S/E).
