This 4-day loop takes the hiker through the high mountain valleys to meet the most beautiful peaks of the Écrins.

 

From the Col du Lautaret, take the Crevasses path, passing the magnificent belvedere de l'Homme, to climb up to the Alpe de Villar d'Arène.
From the Alpe de Villar d'Arêne refuge, the path enters the heart of the park and gradually rises to the lakes of the Arsine glaciers, the highest point of the loop. The scenery also increases in altitude and the atmosphere is reminiscent of the high mountains. The route then drops down into the Guisane valley on a good path to the village of Le Casset, passing the small Lac de la Douche at the entrance to a larch forest.
The third stage starts at the bottom of the valley and allows you to discover the architecture of the valley hamlets, then on the opposite slope (Cerces side) on the Chemin du Roy, to end below the Aiguillette du Lauzet, with the possible presence of ibex, and the hamlet of Le Lauzet.
The final, short stage climbs north-west to the Col du Lautaret, along the Guisane torrent, with its hamlets and chapels typical of the high valleys.
