    At another fork, take the path through the scree (arrow: Col de Dormillouse) and climb up to the mountain pasture. Once you've reached the Pinatelle ravine, continue as far as La Bergerie: the vast valley opens up to you.

    If you prefer, you can continue up to the Col de Dormillouse, in which case the climb is 1100 m and takes 3h30.
    The more adventurous can continue towards the Col de la Lauze, which gives access to Montgenèvre, or cross the pass to descend to the Chalets des Acles and Plampinet.
