Depart from the car park just below the town hall/school in Auxelles-Haut.
(S/E) From the car park, walk up the street in front of the town hall, then turn left onto Rue de la Stolle and then Rue de la Goutte. At the end of Rue de la Goutte, turn left onto Rue Saint-Jean on the right and follow the green rectangle markings. Climb up to the Vierge des Auxelles at Mont Ménard.
(1) At the Vierge des Auxelles, enjoy the beautiful view by leaving the main path and taking a small path that climbs to the right shortly after crossing the heath fence. From there, continue climbing to the edge of the forest near the hiking shelter (do not go towards the shelter, continue straight ahead into the forest to the small summit of Tête Ronde).
(2) Continue climbing to reach the Col de Charborue.
(3) From Col de Charborue, climb as directly as possible (path visible but not fully marked) to the summit of Planche des Belles Filles, the highest point of the walk at 1148m. Beautiful views.
(4) From the summit, descend southwards through the woods to reach a trail marked with red discs, which you take to the left (eastwards). Make a detour to the left to the nearby Roche Fendue (indicated).
(5) Then return to the trail and descend to Chaume du Querty.
(6) Arrive at Chaume du Querty. Beautiful panorama. The refuges are closed. Drinking water available. Continue straight down towards Col du Querty.
(7) At the pass, turn left onto the track marked with green discs, but leave it after about 100 metres and turn right onto a path that descends towards the village, marked with green discs.
(8) At this fork, turn right, cross the footbridge and then turn left onto Rue des Étangs. At the end of the street, turn left onto Rue des Bruyères and head towards the church. Follow this street, passing in front of the church, then the town hall and the school to reach the car park (S/E).
