Access by car: park at the Guzet-Neige resort. The route starts at the top station of the Picou chairlift.
(S) Walk down to the Beauregard chalet via the Col d’Escots.
(1) Continue straight on along the track for 30 to 40 minutes. This first section is a return route, so it is optional. (The road is in the sun, so bring something to protect yourself from the sun). Reach the magnificent viewpoint over the Cirque de Cagateille. A blue shelter provides a place to take a break in the shade.
(2) Return via the same route to the Chalet de Beauregard.
(1) Take the mountain pasture path which descends behind the chalet to the right of the track. From there, follow the yellow markings until the end of the walk. The path descends gently and offers some lovely views, then enters a forest providing a pleasant, shaded stretch.
On emerging from the forest, continue along the path to the ‘Combe de Fougarolle’ sign.
(3) Follow the path to the Combe de Crespies. The elevation changes steadily as the route alternates between open and shaded sections.
(4) From the Combe de Crespies, follow the path along the edge of the forest, which climbs occasionally. You’ll reach the go-kart descent track at the ‘Prat Mataou’ sign.
(5) Take care! Follow this track down to a chairlift area.
(6) Leave the kart track at the ‘Les Souleillous’ sign and continue following the yellow markings. This final section is the most challenging, with steep climbs through the fields (ski runs in winter). Take care not to miss, after a particularly steep climb, a path branching off to the right towards Bois de Toujech.
(7) Follow this path as it descends gently through the forest to the road. Walk a short distance along the road to the right until you reach signpost 36.
(8) Follow the path to the right. Continue down through the woods, with a few occasional climbs. Cross a field to reach a road. Cross the road and head uphill towards the chalets to reach the resort car park (E).
