Yellow markings
(S/E) Return to the main street and follow it to the right, pass the round fountain and continue to the Auberge Campagnarde. Follow the street to the right at the corner of the inn. Pass a wash house on the left, turn right and continue along the road. Ignore the path on the left at the Pré Paradis sign.
Green markings: markers with a number and an arrow indicating the direction to take
(1) At the intersection with marker 1, leave the yellow markings that lead off to the left and continue along the road. At the intersection with marker 2, continue straight ahead along the road.
(2) At marker 3, at a bend in the road, leave the road, ignore the path on the right and continue straight ahead. At the fork in the path at marker 4, go left. Then ignore all the side paths at markers 5, 6 and 7.
(3) At marker 8 and the first viewpoint, at the edge of the plateau, continue to the right on a balcony path that follows the top of the cliff. Take care with children and dogs. Views of the Albarine Valley and then the village of Oncieu follow one after another on this beautiful path.
At marker 9, pass under a barbed wire fence, then ignore the path that branches off to the right just after.
(4) At the paragliding launch area, stay at the top of the area and do not take the path that starts at the bottom. Markers 10 and 11, in the pastures that follow, have mysteriously disappeared. Follow the GPS track, which is useful on this section where the path leaves the cliff to pass through meadows.
Go straight ahead across the meadow, then turn right onto a wide grassy path (which may be more or less obvious, depending on whether the grass has been cut or not), following the edge of the woods. Turn right again further on and follow an electric fence (which may be temporary). Then look out for marker 12, on the right-hand side of the path.
(5) Go under the electric fence and follow the path that leads into the meadow, heading north-west. It becomes more obvious after a few dozen metres. Further on, the path approaches the cliff and follows it very closely (be careful). Go through a wooden barrier, then join a road at the Col d'Évosges.
(6) Carefully cross the road towards marker 13, then take the path on the right that climbs up to the Croix d'Évosges. Descend via the same path or a parallel path.
(6) Back on the road, follow it to the left (south-east) to marker no. 396.
No signposts
(7) Follow the signs for Étang, leaving the road and turning right towards the picnic area. Reach the edge of the Étang de Buinand and go around it on the right. On the other side, turn left to see the landing boat and the wash house (information panel), and rejoin the road.
Follow it to the left, pass in front of the church and continue straight on this road until you reach the main street of the village of Évosges, opposite a wash house. Note the well-restored "travail" on the left. Follow the street to the right to quickly return to the car park (S/E).
