Crête du Lauzet

Crête du Lauzet is a mountain peak in the French Alps with rocky slopes and several hiking routes across its terrain. The landscape features exposed rock faces and well-defined paths that connect different sections of the alpine region.

These mountain paths have served as traditional passages connecting alpine valleys for centuries. Local herders used these routes historically to move livestock between pastoral areas at different elevations.

The summit draws hikers and mountaineers who move across its rocky terrain throughout the year. People gather here to experience the mountain landscape and spend time in the high alpine environment.

Start at the end of the D90 road and follow blue-marked routes toward Cabane de Clot Besson for guidance. The path is maintained but reaches high elevation, so come prepared with proper gear and adequate physical condition.

Several unmarked side routes lead to hidden viewpoints with different perspectives of the surrounding peaks. These lesser-traveled paths offer hikers a chance to discover quieter corners of the alpine landscape.
