Park in the large car park at the Maison des Écrins at the entrance to Vallouise when coming from L’Argentière-la-Bessée.
(S/E) Take the path opposite, passing under a wooden arch. Follow this particularly well-maintained path, then leave it to take a wider track on the left, leading to the Pont de Gérendoine junction.
(1) Cross the road, continue straight ahead along a good path and, after a very gentle climb, reach a bridge over the Ruisseau de Narreyroux.
(2) Cross this bridge and, a few metres further on, turn left onto the path leading to the Cascade de la Pissette. Continue uphill until, a few hundred metres further on, you reach another junction.
(3) Carry on straight ahead, continuing the climb, until you reach the junction at the Ravin de la Fouillette, where there is a signpost.
(4) Turn right downhill and you’ll soon come to a wider track. Take it to the left and follow it, passing the Ravin des Iscles, and you’ll come to a junction of paths immediately afterwards.
(5) Turn right onto this track and continue down an easy descent to reach the Pont des Places campsite.
(6) Turn right onto the wide track, which also forms part of theGR®54, and walk at a leisurely pace to reach the Pont des Fontaines rest area.
(7) Continue along the River Onde to the Ruisseau de Narreyroux bridge.
(2) Keep to the left on the track, then cross the Onde via a wooden bridge. Turn right onto theGR® and continue through the streets of Vallouise to reach the church square.
(8) Head down to the right, reach the right bank of the Gyr, follow it and pass between the Gyr and the Huttopia campsite. Then cross the Onde and, via the path you took on the way there, you’ll easily find the car park at the Maison des Écrins (S/E).
