ITINERARY
Take the track to the right of the entrance to the resort's last parking lot, at the top of Rue de Piégut. You'll enter the Piégut forest, Europe's largest high-altitude spruce forest. After the first bend, continue straight ahead at the intersection. You'll come out of the forest and find yourself near the pistes. Make sure you stay on the right track. Once on the heights, near the ridge, turn right towards Les Sûres. You'll be able to enjoy a panoramic view of the Oisans peaks and valleys. You can also enjoy a bite to eat.
For the return journey, the itinerary is to take the piste shared with skiers, passing close to the reservoir, but it is also possible to take the same route as the outward journey (through the Piégut forest).
