(S/E) From the pass, follow the forest track towards Mont Gros. After a few bends, you will come to a sign indicating the Rossignola path.
(1) Continue along the small path on the left below the track. Enter a small wood where the path is well maintained. Cross a small footbridge and then a pontoon between two water points. Continue between what are probably the ruins of sheepfolds to climb back up to the main track.
Turn left onto the track and continue to marker 522 (1).
Take the path that climbs to the right towards the Tour du Mont Gros. You will then arrive at a new pond.
Cross the track and rejoin the GR® trail. Continue for a few metres until you reach an intersection at a new marker 522 (2).
(2) Turn right and begin the ascent of Mont Gros via this winding path. Towards the end, the path passes below the summit to reach an intersection at marker 523.
(3) Make a round trip to the paragliding launch site and the summit of Mont Gros by turning left onto the path that climbs up a flight of steps. The view of the Principality of Monaco is breathtaking, even dizzying!
Then return to the intersection at marker 523.
(3) Turn left, still following theGR® towards the Tour du Mont Gros.
The path descends southwards to an intersection (marker 524) above the Hameau du Ricard and the Vista Palace hotel (under renovation in 2019).
(4) Continue on the left towards Col de la Coupière and Tour du Mont Gros, along a cliff-top path that passes above Cabbé Bay and Cap Martin.
(5) Continue straight ahead at the next marker (525) and climb a few switchbacks to reach the intersection of the (2) at marker 522 (2).
Then join the track and follow it to the right for a gentle descent to the Col de la Coupière (S/E).
