ITINERARY
You’ll start on a narrow trail running along a ridge, offering beautiful views of the Écrins Massif, from the Grand Pic de la Meije to the Roche de la Muzelle. The chapel and its lookout point await you just below the trail.

This route does not pass through any alpine pastures or cross paths with any herds.

Yellow PDIPR signs: Follow the signs for Col de Cluy.

The trailhead is located behind the Odalys hotel complex, marked by a sign pointing toward the Col de Cluy. You’ll start on a narrow trail that, after the first turn, leads you to another sign, where you’ll follow the direction toward the Col de Cluy. Continue along this same trail, which runs along the mountainside, until you reach the Saint-Giraud Chapel.

This route does not pass through any mountain pastures or near any herds.
