Coming from Valloire towards the Col du Galibier, pass the village of Bonnenuit.
After crossing the Bonnenuit stream, continue 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 go uphill.
(S/E) Continue up the road for about 100 metres.
(1) Turn right onto the track that descends into the Valloirette valley to the Valloirette river.
(2) Cross the river via a beautiful bridge and continue along the track that descends 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 path as it clings to the left bank.
After climbing quite high up the rocky slope, the path approaches the left bank of a tributary of the Lauzette, the Torrent du Goléon, and reaches a pastoral area where many ruins remain.
(4) Pass the ruins of huts and sheepfolds and continue along the Goléon.
(5) Cross the Goléon on a beautiful footbridge with high balustrades.
Note: 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 top of the hamlet of Lauzette.
(6) The hamlet of Lauzette is slightly below on the left. Leave the path that branches off to the right towards the Goléon valley and continue south until you reach the Torrent de la Lauzette.
(6) After fording the Torrent de la Lauzette, you will find yourself in a very pleasant mountain pasture, ideal for a picnic or even a nice nap.
(7) Return by the same route you came, back to the car park (S/E).
