Take La Mure direction. At Lavaldens village entrance, take the small road on your left to Le Pay, and park at the 4th switchback. Take the trail starting from the hairpin for 200 meters and cross the torrent. Keep on straight, the steep trail climbs in undergrowth with several switchbacks and reach Maison Poncet on a clear area. Continue along the flat path that starts after houses. After 500m, find a large rock and take the path that goes above and go on until the Pré Clos shed. Return by the same route.

This itinerary will make you discover the farm Poncet, which is a remain of isolated mountain habitat. Beautiful architecture, dentil gable, discharging arch on door and window, outskirts paved. The balcony trail above the valley offers very beautiful views on Lavaldens village and surrounding peaks. The Pré Clos shed has been recently rearranged for a shepherd and its herd.
