Col d’Anon – Col des Lauzes (no. 7)

The route starts from the outset along a forest track.

1. After the first bend, take the track on the left which leads towards the Col d'Anon, rising through woods and clearings
2. At 1,750 metres altitude, just before the sheepfold of Les Lauzes ("Bergerie des Lauzes"), head left onto the track leading off along the hillside and coming out at the Col des Lauzes. Here you see the Freissinières valley. Carry on along the track which offers fine views over the valley
3. At the pastoral cabin of Les Balmettes, turn off onto the track on the right leading towards the Col d'Anon
4. Below this, turn left onto the path running almost along the hillside to Crouzet. Here, go downhill towards the recently-renovated chalet and continue downhill on a steep path
5. Head left to take another path which rises uphill and becomes increasingly grassy
6. Turn right down a path running downhill, which then zigzags
7. Lower down, you come to a track which leads smoothly back to your starting point.
