Most of the ascent is through forest, which becomes darker and denser as you progress. The mysterious, impenetrable aspect of this forest only serves to reinforce the contrast with the unexpected luminosity of the ridge, which boasts a magnificent, unobstructed view of the surrounding peaks.
Description
Take the track that runs continues on from the road. After about 300m, take a small grassy path on the right. Follow this path across fields and then through woods. Go straight ahead at the junction with a track leading to a pasture. Take the path leading upwards at the bottom of a small valley. Join a track and turn right.
- Go straight ahead on a wide track on the Draye plateau at the intersection with a track. After a very steep section, turn right onto the track.
- Follow the track for two hairpin bends and then, at the 3rd hairpin bend, take a small path on the right that goes deep into the woods. 100m after the Clot Besson picnic area, take a small path on the left. Turn left shortly after the sign indicating the crêtes du Lauzet and follow the hairpin path. Once you reach the mountain pasture, turn left to reach the highest point of the ridge.
- Return by the same route once you've reached the top
