(S/E) From La Chalp, follow the Col de l’Izoard road to Brunissard; this road follows theGR®5, marked in red and white.
(1) At the entrance to the village, take the road on the left. Head to the crossroads by the stopover lodge.
(2) Leave theGR®5here to cross the Rivière stream.
Turn right onto a path where a wooden sign points towards Col du Cros.
This path winds its way up through the forest and opens out onto a clearing below the Col du Cros; reach the pass via a steep climb.
At the pass, take a short detour to the right to admire a monolith and enjoy a beautiful view of the valley below.
(3) Then head towards the Clapeyto chalets along a mountain-side path that crosses a scree slope. Arrive at the small pass.
(4) Turn right onto the path that joins the track leading to the chalets. Turn left and you’ll easily reach the Clapeyto chalets.
(5) Continue westwards along the well-marked path that runs alongside the Torrent du Peyron at the start, then head into the valley. Then turn south near the Col de Pansier.
(6) You will then enter the area of the lakes; follow them to reach the Col de Néal with ease.
(7) Continue south-east and reach the Col du Lauzon via a path that becomes stony near the pass.
(8) Begin the descent from the Col du Lauzon; steep at the start, it requires a bit of care as it crosses scree slopes. Reach Lac du Lauzon.
(9) Continue the descent through scree slopes, forests and the remains of winter avalanches. Arrive at the Gardère hut.
(10) Take the level path which joins theGRP® Tour de la Dent de Ratier a little further on.
(11) Cross the Combe Bonne stream; a sign points towards La Chalp.
