(S) From the Super Collet car park, head towards the Col de l'Occiput, initially following the Claran chairlift, known as the Plagnes chairlift on IGN maps.
(1) As you climb, leave the path that leads to the Refuge de la Pierre du Carré on your right. This will be the path you take on your return. Leave the chairlift and turn left onto a steep climb to the Col de l'Occiput.
(2) From the pass, the route continues south-east (azimuth approximately 150°), passing under the chairlift and then near a ski lift, before reaching the chairlift's arrival station.
Near the arrival point of the Claran chairlift, don't miss the superb orientation table.
(3) From the orientation table, take trail 2000, which has about fifteen stations. The rest of the route is a ridge trail, bordered on the right by the mountain pasture and on the left by a more wooded slope. Continuing in a south-easterly direction, you will reach the Col de Claran (1,956 m) via a short descent.
(4) From the pass, take the path back to the Super Collet station, following the signs and markings on the right.
You will leave the mountain pastures behind and follow a path through rhododendrons and blueberry bushes.
(5) Along the way, you can take a right to reach the Col de l'Occiput, or continue along the balcony trail.
(6) Pass above the Refuge de la Pierre du Carré, the trail crosses several streams and winds through the forest before emerging above the small Lac du Collet. The resort is now clearly visible.
(1) Return to the car park via the route taken at the start (S/E).
