Les pentes du Ferrand
Lus-la-Croix-Haute
Yes, it's half the size of the Lac du Lauzon, but this path that cuts through the alpine pastures between sheep and cows is the balcony of the listed Jarjatte valley, with the added bonus of a view over the Trièves dominated by the 7th wonder of the Dauphiné: Mont-Aiguille.
1/ From the parking lot, continue along the road towards the bottom of the valley. At Champ de la Commune (alt. 1267m) go straight on until you reach Ravin du Fleyrard (alt. 1267m).
