Description

This family trail is a chance to admire the untamed mountains in complete safety and to feel all the force of the natural elements.From the car park at the entrance of Le Désert-en-Valjouffrey, cross the village, heading east. Cut across the GR 54, by crossing the stream of La Laisse - it leads to the left to Côte Belle and to the right to Col de la Vaurze. Follow the wide path alongside the meadow and along the right bank of La Bonne, leading you to the entrance of the Ecrins National Park (information panel). When you arrive at the Pisse waterfall, come back along the same route. To continue, take a look at the route to the Font Turbat refuge.

Advice

In summer, it can get very hot on the path (sunscreen, hats and water are essential, especially for children)

Herd protection dogs

In mountain pastures, protection dogs are there to protect the herds from predators (wolves, etc.).When I hike I adapt my behavior by going around the herd and pausing for the dog to identify me.Find out more about the actions to adopt with the article "Protection dogs: a context and actions to adopt".Tell us about your meeting by answering this survey.

Is in the midst of the park

The national park is an unrestricted natural area but subjected to regulations which must be known by all visitors.
