Park at the start of the cross-country ski trails next to the Rouanne.
(S/E) Set off along a lovely, shaded path beside the Rouanne. Follow the left bank until you reach the bridge over the Rouanne.
(1) Cross the Rouanne via this bridge at Pierre Blonde, then turn left for a few metres before heading towards Cousteilles on the right and climbing a slightly steep slope to the ridge path.
(2) Turn left and follow the lovely ridge path which passes above some beautiful chalets and offers stunning views of the village. Head towards the hamlet of Les Copusteilles.
(3) Turn right (almost a hairpin bend) towards Libouze to begin the ascent through an alpine pasture area at the foot of the Cuchon. Reach the antennas and, shortly afterwards, the highest point of the hike.
(4) Continue due north towards Libouze. Cross the GR®50, continue the descent through a shaded area to reach the Libouze plateau.
(5) Turn right to walk around the hillside reservoir.
(5) Take the track opposite and you’ll soon reach the Combe crossroads.
(6) Continue to the right to reach the D13.
(7) Follow it to the left with great care for 200 m. Leave it at the Croix crossroads and take the path opposite. Take care here as the slope is quite steep, then join the GR®50 at the Preyt crossroads.
(8) Take it to the left, taking care when crossing the D514. You will then reach the leisure centre.
(9) Turn left, walk alongside the leisure centre and head for its car park.
