Route description

From the local Rif Cros guidepost, the path leads toward woodland roads above Les Vigneaux. This small link on the western village side offers a way to explore the nearest mountain slopes. Read the names on the initial sign: the local paths continue in several directions, while this selected section ends at the higher woodland junction. The long Oisans circuit is outside the outing. Focus on the path, the forest shade and a clear return; leave the village’s cultural sights for after the descent, when Saint-Laurent church can be visited at leisure.
