Park just after the bridge over the Salat, on the right bank next to the cemetery.
(S/E) Take the small road that climbs to the right of the tunnel exit.
Continue uphill and ignore the road leading down to La Ribère (no entry sign).
The road turns into a track and passes behind a house.
(1) At the Lastès or Araux junction, turn sharply left towards Lastès (small, clearly visible sign).
(2) Reach Lastès and take a stroll around this hamlet, which is still inhabited and offers a beautiful view of Mont Valier. Go past Azerènes by about thirty metres.
(3) Set off again, turning left onto a small path (not shown on the map). At the junction with the road, turn right. Head towards Erp.
(4) : Arrive at Erp Serrelongue near the town hall.
Turn sharply right then left and follow the small road that zigzags under the village hall. Leave the tarmac road leading to the houses and continue along the track.
You’ll reach a crossroads of paths in front of Coume Guillem. Follow the route marked in yellow with signs attached to the trees, turning left.
(5) Head slightly left, passing over a pine forest.
The path overlooks a pretty house; the markings are faint and the path is little used. Further on, at a bend, take the path branching off to the right.
(6) Continue along this descending path, which is well marked with a few yellow markers.
“An abandoned car signals your return to civilisation.”
(7): You arrive at the hamlet of Chunaut with its tower, the remains of a castle, clearly visible.
After the wash house, head straight down. Pass a house on the left and find the path on the left before a white gate. The path descends steeply to Lacourt.
(8) On reaching Lacourt, walk past the church, along the edge of the cemetery and on to the car park (A/D).
