In Aiguilles, take the detour to the right of the village and you will come to a bridge. Cross it and immediately turn left. At the crossroads, go left and then immediately right to pass to the left of a fountain (signposted Le Lombard). Follow this road, which quickly becomes a track, for about 5km. Be careful, as there are some difficult crossroads.
Park at the entrance to the hamlet of Le Lombard (6 spaces available).
(S/E) From the car park, cross the hamlet and head towards an oratory and the signpost on the right.
Yellow markings
Follow the grassy path on the right along the stream towards Ravin des Cougnets. Shortly afterwards, cross the stream and follow the trail through the tall grass. Higher up, on a flat section, the path turns east and crosses several small streams.
At a crossroads near a dry stream, continue straight ahead. After a steep climb, you will reach the Ravin de Cougnet signpost at theGR®58crossroads.
Red and whiteGR®58variant markings
(1) Continue straight ahead towards Lacs du Malrif and continue climbing. At the Déversoir du Grand Lac signpost, continue to the right and then further to the left to reach Lac du Grand Laus.
(2) Turn right, on flat ground, along the lake towards the Col du Petit Malrif. Pass a second marker at the edge of the lake, then climb to the right towards the clearly visible pass. After a few hairpin bends, you will reach the pass.
(3) Turn right to reach Pic du Malrif after a quick climb and enjoy a beautiful view of the lake.
(4) Follow the path on the left to the north-east, which descends towards Col du Malrif.
(5) At the pass, continue straight ahead for about 100 metres towards Col de Rasis until you reach a small rocky outcrop (cairn).
No more markings, just cairns
(6) Leave theGR® and turn left to begin the long climb up the Crêtes aux Eaux Pendantes. Finally reach the summit of Grand Glaiza and its breathtaking panorama.
(7) Descend via the same path to Pic du Malrif.
(4) Take the path that descends to the left, heading south. Do not descend to the right towards the Col du Petit Malrif. Follow the path that descends quite steeply along the ridge and then along the side of the mountain to return to the Grand Laus marker.
Yellow markings
(2) Continue slightly to the right towards Lac Mézan, then turn left to walk along the left side of Lac du Grand Laus. Almost at the end of the lake, turn left and start climbing again to reach Lac Mézan.
(8) Walk along the lake on the right to climb up to Lac du Petit Laus.
(9) Go around the lake and descend to the Lac Mézan marker.
No more signposts
(8) Turn right to walk along the lake on your left and reach its spillway. Follow a path on the left that runs alongside the stream for a while, then veers left to the south-east below the Serre de l'Aigle ridges. At times, the path is difficult to see, but if you look ahead, you can always see the route. At the end of the ridges, take a more marked path on the right, which quickly joins the outward path (GR®58).
Red and white markings, then yellow markings
Turn right and descend all the way down the same path as on the way up to reach the car park (S/E).
. As a result, the yellow markings on the posts are mostly invisible because they are hidden in the grass. Add to that dozens of small streams, and it's a miracle you don't twist your ankle.
