Leave the car at the end of the track up the Couleau torrent. The hike begins with a gentle slope through the woods on the right-hand side of the mountain. The path becomes steeper but efforts are soon rewarded by a waterfall plunging into a turquoise pool. The path then opens out onto a mountain pasture in the hollow of a majestic cirque at the gateway to the Écrins. Below the cabane de Châteauroux, cross the torrent and switch to the right bank. The path then descends gently to the Pré Charnier hut. Continue along a winding path to the former slate quarry. Once on the forest track, count 300m and turn left towards the Couleau torrent. The loop is complete once you've crossed the footbridge.
