Park in the car park to the left of the Auberge du Croix.
(S/E) Follow the Chemin de la Grande Montagne eastwards. Ignore the fork to the right and continue to Les Touillettes.
(1) Leave the return path on your left and continue straight on. Pass the isolated Plan Baudry farm situated below the path, then follow a few hairpin bends to reach the crossroads and the Grand-Montagne farm (currently being renovated).
(2) Turn left to follow the Chemin du Col de Chatillon. Continue along this road, passing the Acrets farm on your left, then the Châtillon farm.
(3) Just after the latter, look out for the path on the left leading down the hill and head towards the Col de Châtillon cross.
(4) At Col de Châtillon, you’ll have a view of Roc des Arces to your left and Jalouvre and the Bargy range opposite. Turn back and head down tothe first building of the Châtillon farm.
(3) Turn right onto the hillside path leading to Covaleux through the mountain pastures and then the woods.
(5) When you reach the western chalet in the hamlet of Covaleux, turn left to leave the woods and join the path leading to Covaleux via a short, poorly marked link. The old path runs to the east, then past the new building, but the dog will bark if you choose this route.
Then head back down towards the valley, following the Chemin de Covaleux.
(1) Back on the Chemin de la Grande Montagne, take this path to the right to reach the Auberge du Croix, then the car park where you started (S/E).
