Start: Pont du Plan car park located 800 metres after the hamlet of La Chalp (allow about 20 minutes to get from Embrun to the car park).
(S/E) Go up the Torrent de Crévoux. Cross this torrent four times on bridges. This hike starts on the "Parcours des Fées" (Fairy Trail), which is dotted with works of art.
(1) After the fourth bridge, reach the mountain pasture, where the trail becomes steep. Pass by the Cabane de la Sèche. Continue climbing through a pleasant larch forest.
(2) You will arrive at a flat trail, which you follow towards the waterfall (on your left). A few dozen metres higher up, you will find yourself at the waterfall. At this point (1,950 m), don't hesitate to take the path that branches off to the right into the rocks to reach a few metres higher up and approach the waterfall at an altitude of 2,000 metres.
(3) From the waterfall, descend to the horizontal path.
(2) Follow it, leaving the path that led you there on your right (no signposts). Walk along an old irrigation canal. This route runs along the side of the mountain and is very pleasant: sometimes through alpine pastures, overlooking the Cabane de la Sèche and with a general view of the waterfall, sometimes through forest. At the end of this canal, join the Parpaillon forest road.
(4) Follow it straight ahead, passing the Pont du Réal bridge. After the bridge, the road is paved. Reach the Cabane des Espagnols and follow the track on the right. About 1.5 km further down, continue to the right until you reach the car park (S/E).
