Trailence

Hiking - Col du Palet from Laisonnay

A one-day hike to the foot of the north face of the Grande Casse, a little long, but not particularly difficult.
From the Laisonnay d´en bas car park, follow the vehicle track to Laisonnay d´en haut, then the trail towards the Refuge de la Glière. The trail will cut through the pastoral track numerous times, to the level of the Plagne mountain pasture (600 m after the Chalet du Sel). Follow the signposts. Once at the Col du Palet, retrace your steps to the starting point.
Mountain biking is only permitted on the vehicle track to the level of the Chalet du Grand Plan.
