(1) Continue straight ahead, climbing slightly up Chemin de Violette. After 50 metres, the road gives way to a wide path that climbs uphill. You will come to a tarmac road. Follow it for 200 metres until you reach a path on the right.
(2) Follow it towards the mine (see sign). Continue along the balcony path, cross a small stream and continue to the intersection with a wide path.
(3) At the signpost: mine 1448 m, take the wide path on the left that climbs uphill. Continue until you reach a sharp left-hand bend. Bench, picnic table, viewpoint. Continue along the path that climbs uphill on the left, further on, leave a lodge on your right and continue to the pastoral road.
