ITINERARY

1. Meet in front of the Durancia centre. Take the path that runs alongside the building on the left (towards Espace multi-activité)
2. At the Durance bridge, continue straight ahead (towards Lac des Anges) along the tennis courts. At the white sign Source de la Durance, turn right. Follow the path and continue until you reach a small bridge. Go straight on until you reach a track
3. Follow the track on the right (ETM 3 markings) to the Gondrans chairlift.
4. Go past the chairlift and continue up the piste (ETM 4 markings)
