Shortly before Névache, turn right onto the D1t, the Col de l'Échelle road, then descend to the road coming from Bardonecchia (Italy). Continue left along the small road that climbs up the Vallée Étroite to the hamlet of Les Granges, where you will find the car park.
(S/E) Continue along the road that leads to the hamlet of Les Granges in the Vallée Étroite, passing in front of the I Re Magi refuge.
(1). Cross the hamlet and then continue along the track that leaves it in a north-westerly direction (GR®57). Follow this track, passing a turn-off on the right (towards Lac Vert).
(2) Continue to the next crossroads, at the "Pont de la Fonderie", leave theGR®57and take the track on the left that begins to climb. Follow this track and after a few hairpin bends, you will arrive at the Maison des Chamois where it ends.
(3) Just before the house, take the path on the left, ignore the path on the left shortly afterwards (GRP® du Tour du Mont Thabor) and continue north-west to a footbridge that crosses the stream (Prat du Plan).
(4) Ignore the path on the left and continue north on the path that follows the small torrent dominated by the Petit and Grand Séru on the right. You will reach theGR®57at Col des Méandes (2727m).
(5) Passing from grass to a rocky environment, the ascent continues on the left, heading northwest. The trail passes three crosses and the Notre-Dame des-Sept-Douleurs chapel before reaching the summit a few metres further on (3,178 m).
(6) The return journey follows the same route back to the car park (S/E).
