Take the road to the Alpe du Grand Serre resort. At the village of La Morte, take the road to the hamlet of Poursollet (D114E) and park in the car park before the hamlet.
(S/E) Turn right onto the wide track that crosses the hamlet, continue on the left via theGR®50(Tour du Dauphiné). Climb gently on a good path to reach a large plateau largely occupied by Lac Fourchu.
(1) Go around the lake on the left and follow a slight incline followed by a flat section, then a slight descent to reach the Refuge du Taillefer.
(2) Leave theGR®50and head north on a poorly marked path. This path can be seen throughout the climb and, although it is intermittent, it is very easy to find. To do so, follow the left bank of the intermittent Echaillon stream. Despite the lack of a path, the route is obvious: head north and, in good weather, the summit of Grand Galbert is always visible. Reach the ridge to the left of the summit and find a cairned path that leads to the summit.
(3) Descend via this path and follow the cairns. Pass through the Col du Treuil.
(4) Continue south-west, pass under the Beauregard ridge, and join the wide path that leads to the Barrière chalets.
(5) Then take the wide forest track that leads to the hamlet of Poursollet and the car park (S/E).

). A very beautiful introductory route for off-trail hiking, starting from the Taillefer refuge for about half of the walk. Not to be attempted in bad weather as visual landmarks can disappear in the fog (no signs, no paint markings and few cairns, the paths are intermittent).
