Departure from Réallon (Hautes-Alpes)
Many walks are signposted from Les Gourniers. But not the one to Lac de Laus. You will therefore encounter very few other walkers. A walk that begins through mountain pastures, in the shade in the morning, before turning onto a fairly wild mountain-side path. The slopes are steep and offer impressive views, without being vertiginous.

Departure from Orcières (Hautes-Alpes)
A walk with almost no descent thanks to the Télémix and the car left beforehand at the Orcières Merlette resort.The Diolon Valley is beautiful and little-known. It takes you from Prapic to Lac des Sirènes. From there, it’s easy to reach Roche Rousse.This hike should only be undertaken when the Merlette resort is open in summer (July and August) so you can return via the Roche Rousse Télémix. (The descent is much shorter as it includes the ride down on the Télémix!)
