Set off from the Place de la Fontaine des Gabets between the hamlets of Le Bouchet and Le Truc (car park on the square near the site dedicated to horse-drawn transport).
(S/E) Take the uphill Rue du Guinchet. Follow it for 800 metres until you come to a path on the right signposted ‘Pas de l’Ours’.
(1). Take this path and head towards the edge of the forest. At the first junction, turn left.
(2) When you reach the crossroads, take the path straight ahead uphill, marked in yellow and green, and follow it to the “Pas de l’Ours”.
(3) At this point, before a rather steep climb, leave this fairly wide track and turn left onto the mule track, which is still marked in yellow and green.
(4) Halfway along, cross the Sure forest road at the Col de la Croix Perrin. Continue walking through the coniferous forest to reach the Pas de l’Ours.
(5) Set off again towards La Molière, following the ridge to the north. For much of the way, you’ll have a bird’s-eye view of the La Molière mountain pastures with their rich variety of flora and fauna. Pass the summit of Charande.
(6) Once you reach La Molière, it’s well worth stopping to take a look at the orientation board.
Head due west along the forest track towards the Feneys lodge.
(7) Walk past the foot of this lodge, which will be on your left as you follow the road, and continue until you reach the sign for Les Combettes.
(8) Then take the path on the right and head down to the edge of the forest.
(9) At the four-way junction, turn left. Continue along the edge of the forest, which will be on your left. This path leads to a wider track. There, turn right and carry on for about 600 metres.
(10) At this point, turn left and you will reach a fork in the path that you passed on the way out.
(2) Turn right twice, and rejoin the route you started on.
(1) Turn left at the crossroads to return to Place de la Fontaine des Gabets (S/E).
Nice hike with beautiful weather and stunning views of the Écrins massif, Oisans and Mont Blanc.
