ROUTE :
From "Lac de la Muzelle". To reach the fork leading to the pass, go around the lake to the right, cross the lawn and reach the start of the path in the scree (signposted Col du Vallon). The ascent path is nearby. [Allow 1h30 from the refuge de la Muzelle]. From the col, you'll have a magnificent view of the surrounding area. Start the descent towards Lac du Lauvitel, keeping to the left. After a long series of switchbacks, you'll reach a characteristic rocky crest, with a fine view over the lake. From here, you have to cross a large ravine on the right (in wet weather, crossing a slab can be dangerous, and crossing the béquet can be impressive). The path climbs up a little (10 mins) before leading to the mountain pastures above the lake (not recommended in wet weather) [allow around 2 hrs for the descent to the lake].

Please note: this description only covers the passage from one lake to the other! For a description of the complete loop, see the “Grand Tour des Lacs Muzelle et Lauvitel” page.
