From Allos, head towards Villard-Bas/Lac d'Allos. Continue along the road to the Laus car park (last car park on the road): parking fees apply depending on the time of year, see "practical information".
(S/E) With your back to the road you arrived on, head towards the back of the car park and take the path next to the large information board.
There are various information boards along the way. Join the path coming from the forest house on your left and continue.
(1) Look for the path going up the embankment on your left and take it. Walk through the woods and then cross a meadow until you reach the next crossroads. Be careful as marmots are often seen in this meadow.
(2) At the crossroads, turn left. Then cross the footbridge over the Méouille stream and continue climbing.
(3) At the intersection with a path climbing up to your right, continue straight ahead. The path winds at times and becomes very stony as you climb. Watch out for groups of chamois in the scree. Continue.
(4) Follow the main trail, which makes another switchback to the left. The trail on your right leads to Lac du Trou de l'Aigle but is easier to spot on the way down. Climb to the top of Mont Pelat for a panoramic view of the Alps and, in good weather, Corsica.
(5) Descend via the same route until you reach the previous junction.
(4) Caution: turn right at this point.
The path in front of you, marked with a yellow cross, is more visible in this direction and should not be taken unless you want to go to the Trou de l'Aigle lake and back.
Finish the descent by following the same route to return to the car park (S/E).
