The first stage crosses the Durance valley before rising uphill towards Montbrison and passing over into the Vallouise valley. The route continues via the Col de Vallouise and on to Ailefroide, offering an unrivalled view of Mont Pelvoux. As you pass through Ailefroide, take the opportunity to admire this ancient hamlet with its alpine pastures, which has lost none of its charm and is surrounded by high granite walls. This stage culminates with a stretch along the Gyr until you come to Vallouise.
The next stage runs from Vallouise to Puy Saint-Vincent. After passing through the larch trees at the Col de la Pousterle, you cross another two wild valleys, the valleys of Le Fournel and Freissinières. After running beneath the cliffs of the Tête de Gaulent, the route continues on to Champcella, a pretty crossroads between the valleys of Freissinières and La Durance.
After passing through La Chapelle de Rame and La Roche-de-Rame, this last stage closes the loop in beautiful fashion with an ascent up to Lac de l'Ascension. You then have to reach Saint-Martin-de-Queyrières to complete this circuit of more than 100 km.
