Head towards Les Moulins to reach the Izoard pass. Walk up the road for a short distance and take the path facing you towards Lake Roue. After a fairly tough ascent, you’ll reach the GR5 trail which will lead you back to Château-Queyras. The descent includes some very steep sections. Leave the path to join the road and, at the traffic lights, turn right onto the road leading down to the cemetery. Continue on this road, which goes around Fort Queyras by the right for 1km. You’ll now be overlooking the Guil river and the via ferrata trail. You’ll arrive at the bridge over the Guil. Without crossing the bridge, follow the path along the left bank of the river to Ville Vieille.
Option: When you meet the GR5 trail, don’t hesitate to do the extra 700 metres to see Lake Roue.
