Park in the large car park located before the Tourist Office and the Maison de l'Artisanat when coming from Guillestre.
(S/E) At the end of the car park, take the path on the left (sign). You will soon reach the crossroads of the path leading to Meyries. Continue straight ahead and follow a very easy climb to reach the place called La Pissarote.
(1) Cross the stream and turn left at the crossroads (also signposted). Begin a steeper climb, looking out for the red and yellow markings on the trees forthe GRP® Tour de la Dent du Ratier. First through forest, then alpine pasture, reach theGR®58crossroads.
(2) Turn 180° left onto thisGR® and follow a long, almost flat traverse to reach a spot used in summer by shepherds, where a few wooden huts serve their needs.
(3) Stay on the track to easily reach the hamlet of Les Meyries.
(4) Cross the hamlet (a few signs) and head for the wide track leading to the church. Pass in front of it and continue to the crossroads of the Ville-Vieille and Château-Queyras trails. Turn left (sign), cross the stream and begin the descent into the forest to reach the crossroads mentioned at the start. Turn right onto the same track you took on the way up and return to the car park (S/E).
Nice walk, the astragalus were starting to bloom. Just one downside on the way back: in the village of Meyries, the signposts send you straight into someone's garden, so be sure to walk past the church and the old chapel.
