La Meije from Lac Lerié

From the parking area on the northwest side of Le Chazelet cross the Torrent du Ga on a bridge where a good path (GR54) then makes a left-hand hairpin and rises steeply with zigzags up the hillside, at first heading southwest. The way then turns to the right, passes beneath a ski lift and crosses a shoulder at 2164m. This is near the end of the Côte du Caux. Wander round the slopes of the Serre Bernard (a delightful belvedere), cross a stream and slant up to the open, rolling Plateau d'Emparis. At about 2300m (2¼hrs) the path forks. Bear left across grass hillocks to find Lac Lerié in its hollow. This is a lovely tarn from whose shores you gaze due south across the unseen depths of the Romanche to the glaciers which adorn the opposite wall, and southeast for a magnificent view of the Meije. Pass round the right-hand side of the tarn and wander west over more hummocks to the larger Lac Noir.

To return to Le Chazelet, follow the minor path heading roughly north, then northeast to Col du Souchet, where you come onto the GR54. Bear right and follow this all the way back to the car park.
