We took the route in reverse, hoping for a gentler descent. This was indeed the case, except for the steep, rocky section above point 1 (from the "Ravin du Fleyrard 10 min" fork on the track leading down from the chalet). There is probably a way to avoid this section (at the cost of a slight extension of the route) by continuing on the track, which should also lead to point 1.
The crossing between 3 and 2 is enchanting, the setting magnificent.
A very beautiful walk.

superb hike!
A small variation shortly after point 3, which does not change the overall length or elevation gain of this hike: near the sheep pen, pass just behind the circular watering hole to reach the Col de la Croix directly via a fairly wide and easy path (you will rejoin the GR93 200 metres before the pass). From the Col de la Croix, there is a magnificent view to the north/north-west: the Vercors with Mont Aiguille and Grand Veymond in particular, but also as far as the Chartreuse!

When you think of mountain pastures, you think of herds... and sheepdogs! Be careful when you encounter the guard dog on the ridge! The herd was near the watering hole, so we had to go around it as far as possible, stay calm and move away.
Otherwise, it's a very beautiful hike. I would recommend doing it in the opposite direction to enjoy the view of the cirque when arriving via the balcony trail. And you can actually cut across the hillside through the woods to avoid the last switchback on the way back.

Hello, I would like to improve the description of this pleasant but not difficult circular, provided you don't mind walking on the pebbles that give the mountain its charm.
From the car park, head towards the Fleyrard hut, start the fairly steep climb, turn left about a hundred metres before the hut, leave the Lac du Lauzon direction on your right, pass through the groves, and begin a fairly long traverse to point 1605 (viewpoint) and begin the descent to the GR junction, continue the descent on this towards another fork which will take you in either direction to the car park.
A short 30-minute detour from the GR junction takes you up to the Col de la Croix (a beautiful spot with a great view) and back down the same path to the car park.

Magnificent hike in a little-known mountain cirque
A feeling of total wilderness as far as the eye can see
On the way back, you might want to take the shortcut via a small path on the left just before the end of the descent, which avoids ending up on the road

To start the hike, you need to go to the end of Route de la Jarjatte, staying close to the Buech river: you will pass a campsite/equestrian centre before arriving. Continue until the road is no longer tarmac. You can park right at the turn-off point or a little further on, in the shade.

It's a really beautiful hike that's not too difficult, except perhaps for your knees on the way back, which is quite steep on scree: consider using walking sticks to ease the strain.

If you have time, I recommend climbing up to the Col de la Croix before the descent: it is marked by a sign and adds 30 minutes to the route.

Panoramic views, streams, livestock, a very pleasant walk.
Access to the Fleyard hut is blocked because it is occupied by shepherds.
You need to be a little careful at the start; we reached the Fleyard ravine via the Buech riverbed.
Finally, we crossed the second copse at random but ended up on a path.

Hello
I didn't do Lus la Croix Haute, but I did a four-day hike from Veynes to Die, if that's of any interest...?
Best regards
