On the way of the Col de la Bonette from the Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée side, two main itineraries are possible.

Leave the marked route leading to the forest house of Tortisse and climb into the Morgon valley. Find a pastoral hut and then continue through a scree slope. On the left, climb the rocky spine to find a secondary valley. Follow the small torrent and then reach the lakes Laussets.[1]
From the Camp des Fourches, go to the Col des Fourches. Follow the GR 5 to go down in the Cougnas ravine. Leave the GR at tag 37 (2100 m), cross a ravine, and follow on the right the small footpath in the Cabane valley, along the Salso Moreno torrent. Enter a small rocky gorge on the right, and find the Big Lake of Morgon. From there, walk west to reach the three lakes Les Laussets.[2]
