Enter the village. Take the road to the left of the town hall and pass in front of the church. Park on the Place de l'Aubrac on the right below. If there are no spaces available, you can park at (1).
(S/E) Leave the car park and turn left onto Rue de l'Abbé Delbès. Turn right at the first street, Rue de la Croix Grégoire, at the fountain.
(1) Pass the Croix de Grégoire car park and turn right again. The road becomes a shaded lane climbing towards Montfermier and running alongside the cemetery.
(2) At the D13, turn right and follow the road for 40 m. Take the path on the left that climbs towards Soucheraldes. You will rejoin the road and enter the hamlet after about 100 m.
(3) At the cross on your right, take the path on the right. Follow it for 70 m, then leave the main path and follow the trail on the left between low walls. You will be walking alongside pastures. This path turns left, then right.
(4) At the crossroads of drovers' roads, turn left and follow this path which climbs and turns left again. At the D65, continue straight ahead until you reach the D665.
(5) Turn left and follow the road downhill for 500 m.
(6) Turn right towards Lescure, Recoulet. Continue for 300 m, passing two roads on your left. Take the path on the left towards Panouval. Cross the stream and continue for 300 m until you reach the crossroads.

(8) Continue straight ahead and pass behind the Reboulet farm, continuing until you reach the D13. Turn right and follow the road for 200 metres.
(9) Cross the road and head towards the ski resort. At the resort map sign, take the forest track on the left and enter the forest.
(10) At the first crossroads, continue along the forest track (or, if the vegetation allows, take the path on the left which joins the track much further on.
(11) Continue climbing until you reach the trail junction.
(12) Take the path on the left. You will leave the forest and descend towards the mountain pastures.
(13) Cross the small Hère river via the small bridge on your left. Continue for just under 500 m until you reach the crossroads where you will see the first waterfall.
(14) Turn right towards La Petite Laiterie de l'Aubrac. Pass this and continue to the Hère river.
(15) On the left side of the river, there is a path that leads to the Jiou-Jiou waterfall, but it was impassable on the day of my hike. Just after the river, leave the road and take the path on the right that leads to Saint-Urcize.
(16) Cross the road and continue straight towards the upper town.
(17) For the brave, climb the steps leading to the church, and for those who are tired like me, continue straight ahead to the car park (S/E).
