Tour from La Grave to the Plateau d'Emperis via the Pic du Mas de la Grave
MediumImportant information
Dans le Parc national des Écrins, les sentiers sont généralement praticables de la mi-juin à fin septembre.
Toutefois, les périodes d'accessibilité des itinéraires et les dates de pose des passerelles varient d’une année à l’autre en fonction de l’enneigement, des dégâts survenus en hiver et des conditions météorologiques.
Par ailleurs, l’état des sentiers n’est pas contrôlé quotidiennement et peut évoluer rapidement après un évènement météorologique (orage, crue...). Il est nécessaire de se renseigner auprès des maisons du parc national et des offices de tourisme du territoire avant votre sortie.
Pendant la randonnée, en cas de passage dégradé ou dangereux, faites demi-tour et signalez-le.

Description
The second day is dominated by the imposing presence of the Pic du Mas de La Grave (3,020m). From the valley, the climb up to the Pic is a must for experienced hikers, and offers an imposing 360° view. Then back to overnight in the refuges of Le Fay and Les Mouterres.
The last stage merges with the GRⓇ54 before running back uphill, offering hikers an unrivalled view from the Plateau d'Emparis and its two iconic lakes, Lac Nerié and Lac Noir. Here the high peaks of the massif come into view and the glaciers of Les Écrins and La Meije. This stage ends by passing through Le Chazelet and Les Fréaux, marking a return to civilisation through the Romanche valley.

Recommandations
In mountain pastures, protection dogs are there to protect the herds from predators (wolves, etc.).
When I hike I adapt my behavior by going around the herd and pausing for the dog to identify me.
Find out more about the actions to adopt with the article "Protection dogs: a context and actions to adopt".
