At the bottom of the village of Gourdon, there are two large car parks.
(S/E) With your back to the historic village, go to the roundabout and continue straight ahead on the road.
(1) After about 250 m, take the path on the right that passes behind the Colombier houses. When you reach the small road, take it on the right and go uphill.
(2) Follow the path on the left, which is clearly visible and easy to follow. At Colle Basse, begin an easy climb to reach the start of the hairpin bends.
(3) A series of hairpin bends takes you to the Col Est de Cavillore (1,030 m, marker 10), which marks the end of the climb.
(4) Follow a small horizontal path to the left that passes by two karstic caves, then continue through sharp limestone pavements and sinkholes until you reach the old path from Gourdon to Cipières (marker 11).
(5) Continue left along a wide path that descends in four large switchbacks to the RD12.
(6) Cross the road and continue below on the path that passes in front of the Chapelle Saint-Vincent and leads to a small horizontal road. Follow it to the left to easily rejoin the RD12, just above Gourdon.
(1) Turn right and return to the car park via the road you took on the way there (S/E).
