May 12, 2026,Boucle Chapelle de la Saulle – Cascade du saut de Laire au départ de Prapic

Magnificent hike in the heart of the Écrins massif, the elevation gain is a bit rough in places but the path is wide and easily accessible. On this Tuesday, May 12th, we wanted to do a loop once past the waterfall, but the remaining snow dissuaded us, the path was no longer visible in places, so we turned back.
