(S/E) At the crossroads, take the track opposite the road, heading west. The track descends then climbs again after the bridge over a stream and joins a three-way junction.
(1) Turn slightly to the left and continue along the track. Pass the Étang de Chambroutière.
(2) At the next intersection, on the left, take the path that leads to the hamlet of Chambroutière. Once you reach the hamlet, follow the small road on the right (D31) for about 400 metres.
(3) After the second bend, take the path on the left that climbs through the undergrowth to a T-junction, then turn right. Walk along the edge of the woods until you reach a small road.
(4) Follow it to the left and continue on the path opposite the road in the bend. At the first three-way junction, turn right, then left at the T-junction and continue on this forest track.
(5) Continue straight ahead, ignoring the track on the right, and descend towards the road. Take the D59 road on the right, ignoring the bridge. Walk along the Beauze for 200 metres.
(6) Don't miss the path on the right, which climbs steeply for the first few metres and then levels out. The path turns twice at right angles.
(7) At the first intersection, turn left and descend towards a stream, cross it and climb gently up towards the hamlet of Bichaud.
(8) Turn right onto the road, stay on this road and turn onto the first path on the left at the exit of the hamlet, between the meadows. At the T-junction, turn right and head towards the forest.
(9) Turn left onto the road, follow it for 300 metres and enter the hamlet of Chameyroux. Head towards the stone houses on the right. Go around the private property (marked with a yellow cross) on the left, passing between the vegetable gardens. Join the path that branches off at a right angle to the left a few hundred metres further on. Continue to the small plank bridge over the Chambroutière stream.
(10) Cross the stream on this small plank bridge and begin the climb up a fairly steep grassy track, which quickly enters the forest. Join the initial track at the first crossroads.
(1) Retrace your steps to return to the car park in the hamlet of Verminier (S/E).
