Rando boucle Bourg d'Oisans-Oulles-La Palud-Bourg d'Oisans
Long but nice hike, varied, with very beautiful views.
Technical Information:
Departure: Boirond – Les Sables 719m
Elevation: 1190m
Round trip duration 8h
Distance: 15km
Level: difficult
Steep ascent and descent.
Cross the hamlet of La Paute and continue straight on to Boirond (signs).
Take the valley on the left which climbs steeply into the woods, via a good path often on a balcony, revealing numerous ruins of Malaine, witnesses to a living past.
We leave the woods through a pass overlooking the village ofOulles, facing Taillefer and Grand Galbert, at the place called Le Piret at 1401m (signs).
Beautiful views of Taillefer, Rochail, Muzelle, La Meije, the Big Redheads…
Go down to the village by a beautiful path decorated with well-placed benches for contemplation, and follow the direction of Puy d'Oulles (panels).
At the exit of the village, at a crow's foot, follow the road on the left, then take a path on the left in the undergrowth (wooden sign indicating Puy d'Oulles).
There begins the descent through the Combe du Collet, quite steep and crossing three streams, then at the exit of the woods, you come out onto a wide path in a bend, in front of a small cliff topped with a stone oratory (several of the same style will be found on the path).
Then follow this good path on the left to reach Puy d'Oulles (ruins).
Go down to the left by a wide and steep path to Clos de Balme (or de Barme, on the map), continue on the road for around 600m to the hamlet of La Palud.
Go back up to the Villard-Reymmond road on the left, follow it for a moment, then take the path which goes down to the left along the Lignarre, towards La Paute (signs).
We cross the torrent twice by beautiful footbridges, then all we have to do is slide down to the road and reach the parking lot.
