Description of the route by the creator
Park in the hikers' parking lot. Follow the signs up to the 7 Laux refuge. The path is well signposted. If you wish, you can walk around the various lakes. However, the gradient is too steep to see all the lakes. In particular, to reach Lac Belle Étoile and then the peak, you'll have to go through a lot of scree. Once you've reached the Belle Étoile peak, take the path down to the village of Le Pleynet and then the parking lot.
