Le Sentier des Mules
The path traces the old working route where mule teams once hauled heavy loads of hay down from the meadows of the Plateau d'Emparis, passing through a landscape still visibly shaped by terraces that, at the start of the last century, were all under cultivation. Shared with GR 54 walkers and recently rerouted to protect its switchbacks, the loop departs from Le Chazelet (1770 m) and climbs the entire eastern flank of the plateau.

Le Vallon de Martignare

Le Bois des Fréaux
The trail opens in the forest of Le Bois des Fréaux — a north-facing woodland laced with cliff bands — before woodland and valley sections gradually give way to mountain meadows, rocky slopes, and open views within the Écrins National Park.

Serre Bernard par la Berche
A wilder alternative to the classic Plateau d'Emparis route, this loop passes the ruins of former summer dwellings used by valley inhabitants, with chances to spot chamois, partridge, vultures, and eagles along the way. The trail also offers views of La Meije and traverses terrain rich in alpine flora.
-
Le Vallon de la Buffe par les Orliers
This loop through the Buffe valley unfolds beneath the Mas de la Grave Peak, where the Gâ stream has its source, and passes through pastures long favored by transhumant herders bringing their flocks up from the south. The route takes in the hamlet of Rivet de la Cime, with the great face of the Meije rising as a backdrop.
-
La Boucle de l'Aiguillon
From the crête de l'Aiguillon, the route delivers a 360° panorama taking in the glaciers of La Meije and the surrounding peaks of the Parc National des Écrins. The loop threads through the village of Les Cours and passes the Chapelle Saint-Antoine, with the high pastures of this glacially dominated landscape unfolding underfoot.

-
Le Lac du Goléon par le Cruq des Aiguilles
A demanding loop reserved for experienced hikers, this route climbs through alpine terrain via the Col du Cruq des Aiguilles — a more varied, wilder alternative to the straightforward Valfroide ascent — before reaching Lac du Goléon, where the panorama rewards the effort. The descent drops back through Valfroide, rounding out a circuit that touches col, lake, glacier views, and pastoral landscapes.
-
Le tour du plateau d'Emparis
A high-altitude circuit across the Emparis plateau at around 2,500 metres, where the aroma of wild lavender mingles with the freshness of glaciers and every turn reveals the north faces of La Meije and Le Râteau looming above Lac Lérié and Lac Noir. Mountain pastures, isolated high-altitude villages turned refuges, and a sweeping panorama taking in the Girose glacier and Lake Chambon far below give this traverse its rare depth.
