This is an accessible hike with unobstructed views over the Durance valley.
Exposed passages make this a hike not recommended for children.

After the old "postman's path" overlooking the Durance as the valley narrows, a shady wooded section leads back to a panoramic viewpoint over the Durance valley, which widens out over the Embrunais. This long parade lends itself particularly well to reading the landscape and some great photos opportunities.

Dans le Parc national des Écrins, les sentiers sont généralement praticables de la mi-juin à fin septembre.

Toutefois, les périodes d'accessibilité des itinéraires et les dates de pose des passerelles varient d’une année à l’autre en fonction de l’enneigement, des dégâts survenus en hiver et des conditions météorologiques. Par ailleurs, l’état des sentiers n’est pas contrôlé quotidiennement et peut évoluer rapidement après un évènement météorologique (orage, crue...). Il est nécessaire de se renseigner auprès des maisons du parc national et des offices de tourisme du territoire avant votre sortie. Pendant la randonnée, en cas de passage dégradé ou dangereux, faites demi-tour et signalez-le.
