In the village of Villargaudin, continue along the tarmac road to quickly rejoin the forest track, which you follow to the large car park at the Queyron chalets.
(S/E) Head towards the chalets, following the red and yellow markings ofthe GRP® Tour de la Dent de Ratier. The short descent passes the Queyron before crossing the woods.
(1) Continue along this magnificent trail until you reach the first crossroads, where you will find a trail leading up to Le Châtelard.
(2) Keep right on theGRP®, following a nearly horizontal path to reach a second crossroads. Here, rejoin theGR®58, which also climbs up to Châtelard.
(3) Continue along this path, which is now shared and marked only in white and red. Take a few easy switchbacks to reach the Col de la Lauze.
(4) Take the path on the left, leaving theGR®, and continue along this balcony path. After a very slight descent but a fairly long walk, you will reach the Chalets de Furfande nestled at the bottom of the valley.
(5) Here, tackle a short but relatively dry climb to reach the junction with a newGR® trail, the 541, clearly marked by a yellow sign.
Take it on the right, crossing the Granges de Furfande chalets at a distance. You will come to another crossroads at a wayside shrine on the right.
(6) Keep left and continue climbing to reach the Col de Furfande.
(7) Turn right onto theGR®58and begin a rapid descent to reach the Refuge de Furfande.
(8) Continue the descent, still onthe GR®58. This easy descent will take you back to the Col de la Lauze crossroads.
(4) Retrace your steps to return to the Queyron car park (S/E).
