District:
Car park on the edge of the D539 in a bend between Grimone and the Col de Grimone.
The route on the ground is well marked, with numerous directional posts and markings.
(S/E) Follow the road (D539) downhill for 1 km until you reach a hairpin bend.
(1) Leave the road, do not take the wide path on the right but the small path below which joins the path from Grimone 100 m further on, which you follow to the right.
Yellow-green markings
(2) Cross the path and take the trail on the right that runs alongside the trees and joins a path 500 metres further on.
(3) Head straight ahead towards "Sucettes de Borne", staying on the main path.
(4) At a crossroads, turn left and follow "Sucettes de Borne". Continue for a good kilometre until you reach a crossroads.
(5) Do not take the path that descends to the left towards Glandage. Continue right for 200 metres on the forest track.
(6) At the Piégu signpost, take the path that descends to the left towards "Sucettes de Borne".
(7) When you reach the Gué crossroads, take the path down to the left towards "Sucettes de Borne". Continue down the path for 400 metres after the Sucettes, until you reach the impressive rocks downstream.
(8) Turn around and walk back up to Le Gué.
(7) Cross over and continue straight ahead. At the crossroads 200 m further up, turn left towards "Col de Jiboui". Shortly after crossing the stream, on a right-hand bend, the route leaves the path and climbs up, cutting across the bends via a shorter trail.
(9) When you reach the Refuge et Lodge d'Alpage de la Tour, remember to fill up with water. Climb up the path towards "Col de Jiboui". At the crossroads 500 m further on, leave the paths and take the path opposite, which climbs steeply and joins a crossroads at Col de Jiboui.
(10) Continue to the right towards "Crête de Jiboui".
Yellow (GTV) + red and white (GR®93thenGR®93variant) markings
(11) On the ridges, follow the ridge path to the right towards "Le Jocou".
(12) Curiously, the trail leaves the ridges and takes a new, less convenient route, sloping upwards a few dozen metres above the old one. Why?
(13) At Col de Seysse, turn left onto the GTV towards "Le Jocou".
(14) At the "Sentier à brebis" sign, turn right onto the steep path: climb up the path on the small rocky ridge to the right of the ravine and join the Crête de l'Archat.
(15) Turn right towards "Le Jocou" to reach its summit.
(16) Continue straight ahead towards "Col de Grimone". 300 metres after the hut, there is a small cairn: the path leaves the ridge, turning left towards Col Pigeon.
(17) Passage at the Vente-Cul pass.
(18) Leave theGR®93. Take the GTV on the left, which is not very visible until you reach the small wooden marker 20 m away. At Col de Vente-Cul, descend to the drinking troughs, then along the edge of the Jocou national forest, on the right bank of the ravine, to the Côte des Amousière post.
Red-white markings (GR®93variant) thenGR®93
(19) Continue straight ahead towards "Col de Grimone". At the next two intersections, turn left to return to the road and the car park (S/E).
