D/ Visitor center parking lot 1/ Follow the road heading north-east until the end. Turn right on a path rising through the meadows until you reach a track, then turn right again on this track. You will pass several ski lifts. 2/ In a left-hand bend before the Mont Pelat chairlift (alt. 1130 m), turn right onto the path indicated by the sign "Morbié 45 min - Col de la Sciaz 1h05." 3/ At 1245 m ground, cross an enclosure (yellow arrows) and continue straight ahead (southbound). The path follows a power line to Morbié (alt. 1250 m). 4/ From Morbié farm, climb to Col de la Sciaz (20') and then to Mount Pelat (natural park markings, 1h).

From there, a path descends on your left towards the Mont de la Vierge chalet. 5/ Once you've reached the chalets, continue down the path through the meadows to "Les Ginets". 6/ Return to the parking lot by the original route. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This itinerary takes you through mountain pastures.
