Vers la bergerie de Dormillouse

Far from the busy paths of the upper valley, the Dormillouse mountain pasture is still untamed. Its alpine meadows have enchanted many.

Take the path opposite the parking lot, which rises up through the forest and is indicated by a yellow "Col de Dormillouse" sign.

The path winds up a series of switchbacks on a slightly steep ascent, continuing until you take the balcony on the left towards La Lauze.
At the fork in the larch forest, take the left-hand path through a combe (La Lauze).
At another fork, take the path through the scree (arrow: Col de Dormillouse) and climb up to the mountain pasture. Once you've reached the Pinatelle ravine, continue as far as La Bergerie: the vast valley opens up to you.

If you prefer, you can continue up to the Col de Dormillouse, in which case the climb is 1100 m and takes 3h30.
The more adventurous can continue towards the Col de la Lauze, which gives access to Montgenèvre, or cross the pass to descend to the Chalets des Acles and Plampinet.
