At a path junction by a wooden cross, take the lower route curving to the right. It's a mostly well-graded path that eventually brings you to the road again. Cross directly ahead, and in a few paces you will arrive beside the mairie of La Garde d'Oisans on the ledge of La Ville (1031m). Note the plaque on the wall of the mairie recalling the burning of the village in 1944 by occupying troops.

Turn left along the narrow road, and passing the village washplace, it eventually becomes a track leading to a house. Just before the house, take a narrow footpath descending among trees on the right. Twisting across grass slopes, among trees and over rocks, it soon provides a direct view of Bourg d'Oisans. Then you come to a series of rock slabs where the path is protected in places by lengths of fixed cable that offer a degree of support where the slabs are perhaps smooth from use, or outward sloping – caution required. The path is exposed here and there, with a campsite swimming pool directly below, suggesting that should you slip you will land among the swimmers!
