    Description :
    From the mountain hut of Maljasset (1903 m), take the road on the right. After the cemetery, leave it in favor of a track on the right which will quickly cross the Ubaye.
    The trail sinks into the undergrowth, runs along a brook, and then turns into a path lined with shale stone.
    The path will quickly rise in wide laces. Arrived on a grassy flat, ignore the left trail that leads to an old quarry, but continue on the GR trail right.
    This one will gradually rise in line with the right orographic bank of the torrent of Mary. Go past the lower sheepfold of Mary, then just before the upper sheepfold, leave the GR trail in favor of a path on the right towards the Col de Marinet.
    The trail bypasses the Marinet rock by the right and then follows the torrent of Béal de Marinet before reaching a verdant flat on the edge of the waters of the small lake of Marinet.
    Continue along the trail to get to the southern end of the big Marinet lake and climb up to the Col de Marinet (2787 m.
    From there, ignore the path on the left which leads to the Col de Mary, but follow a tiny path with cairns that runs alongside and then rises straight down the slope to arrive at the Colle di Ciaslaras (3010 m).
    From there, descend to the other slope by a steep path, which, having reached the foot, crosses a vast flat (2700 m) and goes beyond the lakes of the Infernetto.
    At the intersection of the Roberto Cavallero trail, turn off on the right to start the ascent of Colle dell Infernetto. Rise at best by using handrails.
    Having reached the Colle (2783 m), continue on the ascending path that leads to the lake of Finestra. After passing the lake, the trail will make a loop on the right before reaching the Barenghi bivouac. Ignore twice the trails on the left, but continue along the lake of Vallonasso di Stroppia then climb in a few laces until the Col de la Gypiere (2927 m).
    From the pass, descend on the other slope to the lake of the Neuf Couleurs (2850 m). Follow the trail which then branches off to the left and then goes further along the lake Long.
    Just after the lake, ignore the path on the left which goes up to the Pas de la Couletta, but continue the descent to the hut of Chambeyron (2626 m).
