Start from the Pont de Villard on the road between L’Enclus and Le Forest. Head towards Pré Grand and park after the building.
(S/E) Head south along the Route Forestière du Bois Rond to the Fontaine d’Hurtillier.
In June 2025, the water flowing from the fountain is reported to be unfit for drinking.
(1) Take the wide path that climbs to the left through the woods (marked for trail running/mountain biking) and continue through the forest. Join the forest track.
(2) Turn left (GR® de Pays Tour du Dévoluy signposting) towards the Jas de Barges and the Col de Rabou. Leave the woods and continue along the track. You’ll find the start of a path by three trees and a cairn on the left before reaching the Jas de Barge (sheepfold).
(3) Leave the GRP® trail. Take the well-marked path on the left, signposted in red and yellow GRP® in 2026! It is often used by a few mountain bikers. Cairns and cycle signs complement the coloured markings. You’ll reach the Cascade de la Souloise without difficulty.
(4) Continue along the obvious path which descends through the forest.
(5) Cross the stream for the first time (there are a few stones to help you), then continue along the red and yellow-marked path
(6) In 2026, a splendid footbridge will allow you to cross the river again and rejoin the first road you took, which you’ll follow to the right, a few dozen metres from your car (S/E).
