(S/E) Join the forest tracks at a place called Les Quatre Chemins.
(1) Turn right towards Canal de la Pisse. After 250m, you will reach the Dantane point.
.
(2) Follow the track climbing up to the left (yellow markings) to Serre Sarlier.
(3). Turn left, then after a few metres, turn right to rejoin the Canal de la Pisse. Follow the flat path on the left. On this section, the canal is underground for about 300 metres, then flows in the open for just under 1.5 kilometres. It then crosses a forest track: cross it and follow the canal for another 350 metres to Le Canal. This is the most pleasant part of the circuit, walking along a gently sloping path alongside the canal, surrounded by majestic fir and spruce trees, which are a very important resource for the commune of Saint-Vincent-les-Forts.
(4) Take the path that descends to the left to Clot du Dou.
(5) Turn left onto the beautiful forest track and continue for 350 metres on a tarmac road (GRP® red and yellow markings) until you reach the Quatre Chemins and the village.
(1) Turn right to reach the car park at Saint-Vincent-les-Forts (S/E).
At point 4, we chose the alternative route and climbed up to the springs via Pra Balou. The climb was quite steep and a little challenging for us as we only walk occasionally, and it took us about two hours to get there, progressing slowly. The effort is well rewarded by the beauty of the place, the beautiful waterfalls and the wild and unspoilt nature of the site. Be sure to follow the red and yellow GRP markings carefully, as several paths branch off in different places. We returned as described by the Hannibal camp, where picnic tables and a useful shelter in case of rain await you. The descent is easy along a beautiful forest track.
