Description of the walk

Park in the Granges car park on Chemin Sous les Buissons.

(S/E) From the car park, turn left onto the street, then left again after about 20 metres. Continue straight ahead on the path and climb up to the edge of the forest until you reach a fork at Plan du Tronc.

(1) Turn right to climb into the forest. After a few hairpin bends, the path levels out and you will see Les Guéritolles: remember to close the cattle grid behind you.

(2) Cross Les Guéritolles. After a while, you will come to a path that winds down to the right. Do not take this path, but continue straight ahead, go through the gate and you will come to a crossroads.

(3) Begin the descent to the right on a forest path. Continue downhill to the hamlet of Le Pas.

(4) Go straight down the road. Turn right at the crossroads to join the Route de Bravachet. Follow this road, keeping to the right, and cross the hamlet of Le Crêt, making sure you keep going in the same direction and ignoring any side streets.

(5) Take the road that climbs to the right at the sign for "Route des Granges du Bas". Take the first left and then immediately right to reach the car park (S/E).
