ITINERARY
Starting from Place des Orgières, walk up Rue de Piégut to the first bend, where you can begin your ascent into the forest. Then take the upper path towards Piégut. A short climb through the forest takes you to a track that gradually climbs upwards. At the end of the track, turn right onto the path towards Les Sûres. You'll then be walking close to the downhill mountain bike trails: take care not to use them. You'll find yourself in a meadow landscape overlooking the Romanche valley. Follow the ridge up to the Sûres summit, from where you can admire a 360-degree panorama of the surrounding massifs and the plain of Bourg d'Oisans. You can then turn around and head back to the resort.
