Park in Laval in the small car parks
(S/E) Set off along Chemin de la Foire and climb up to the right along a steep path, then turn left to discover the Montfallet Tower (currently undergoing restoration) and the breathtaking view of the Chartreuse mountains.
(1) Retrace your steps, leave the road on your right and, after a few metres, leave the wide path and take a steep path (GRP®) on the right leading to Lancelot.
(2) After passing Lancelot on your right, at the end of the access road, take a steep path opposite. Follow the ridge via theGR® de Pays Tour du Balcon des Sept Laux to the Col du Lautaret, a smaller version of the real Col du Lautaret where many inattentive cyclists get lost. Leave the GRP®.
(3) Leave the GRP® and turn right onto the D 280 road, then continue to the D 528 crossroads.
(4) Turn right onto a small path opposite the hairpin bend. Join a road that leads to the D 528 and turn left to reach Le Fuzier.
(5) Turn left again towards Le Planyessard. Pass under a power line, join a road at the entrance to the hamlet (cross) and cross it.
(6) Just after the school, turn right and follow the road that crosses the Ravin du Muret via the Gorge bridge and go back up to the D 280f.
(7) Turn right and continue along the road to Bérot.
(8) At the end of the village, don't miss the path that descends steeply to the right into the forest to the hamlet of Le Ruisseau.
(9) Turn right onto the road, cross the bridge and go up the Route de l'Envers, passing close to the castle and the church to arrive at the starting point in Laval (S/E).
between Les Crêts and the Col du Lautaret, a very pretty alternative route branches off to the right at a picnic table. This is the Chemin du Haut Fuzier, which rejoins the circuit at the Col du Lautaret. This old path has recently been restored to use. There is a sign and map at the fork. The view is clearer and the path sunnier.
