In Laffrey, turn left towards Notre-Dame-de-Vaulx. In the village, continue towards Le Majeuil. Park at the entrance to the village near the old holiday camp.
(S/E) The trail starts on the right side of the road. Follow the signs for "La Pérouse" and then the yellow markings throughout the walk. It starts gently, alternating between woods and meadows, before reaching the ridge. Ignore two trails on the left and you will come to a wide, partially grassy track.
(1) Cross the track and continue straight ahead. Cross the track again a little higher up and continue opposite until you reach the summit meadow. Towards the end, the slope becomes significantly steeper.
(2) Continue climbing, following the markings. You can catch your breath as you go around the summit on the left. The path levels out and offers a superb view of the Vercors and Lac du Monteynard below on the left. Reach the ridge by continuing to follow the markings. You will come out onto the mountain pasture surrounded by herds of cattle.
(3) Keep to the right to reach the summit, which is now visible. Make one last effort to climb the last few metres and enjoy the view.
(4) The descent is straight down through the meadow, keeping Lac du Monteynard in sight, to rejoin the path you took on the way up at the edge of the woods.
(2) Continue straight ahead and follow the uphill trail to return to the starting point (S/E).
