Coming from Valloire towards the Col du Galibier, pass the village of Bonnenuit.
After crossing the Bonnenuit stream, carry on for another 600 or 700 metres until you reach the southern entrance to the village.
Park in the car park on the left-hand side of the road as you head uphill.
(S/E) Continue up the road for about a hundred metres.
(1) Turn right onto the track that descends into the Valloirette valley to the River Valloirette.
(2) Cross the river via a lovely bridge and continue along the track which winds its way along the left bank into the valley with its beautiful V-shaped slopes, at the bottom of which flows the Lauzette torrent.
(3) After skirting an alluvial plain, the track becomes a footpath as it clings to the left-hand slope.
After climbing quite high up the rocky slope, the path approaches the left bank of a tributary of the Lauzette, the Goléon torrent, and reaches a pastoral area where numerous ruins remain.
(4) Pass the ruins of huts and sheepfolds and continue along the Goléon.
(5) Cross the Goléon via a lovely footbridge with high balustrades.
Note: it is possible that this footbridge may one day be swept away by the torrent during a major flood, as everything is constantly shifting in the mountains; continue towards the upper part of the hamlet of La Lauzette.
(6) The hamlet of La Lauzette lies a little below on the left. Ignore a path branching off to the right towards the Goléon valley and continue due south until you reach the course of the Lauzette torrent.
(6) After fording the Lauzette torrent, you’ll find yourself in a lovely mountain pasture – perfect for a picnic or, why not, a nice nap.
(7) Return along the same route you took on the way out, back to the car park (S/E).
