The starting point is at the entrance to the village of Le Rozier, coming from Millau. Shortly after crossing the Tarn, at the foot of a staircase, you will find signs for "PR® Les corniches du Méjan" and "GR®6A".
Red and white markings
(S) Climb the stairs and continue on a path that passes close to a small road that winds upwards. Join this small road and follow it uphill, then quickly come out onto a path. This path climbs up the hillside in a general east-northeast direction. Pass directly below the Rocher de Capluc, a large rock equipped with ladders for climbing.
(1) Continue along the path and, at a fork, ignore the "Jacques Brunet" trail that branches off to the left (sign). Continue eastwards. The slope quickly becomes very steep and winding, in the forest. You will come to a perpendicular trail (GR®6 to the left, GRP® to the right).
Red and yellow markings
(2) Take the path on the right. This is where the route really begins to follow the ridge, with alternating false flats, descents and ascents. It is also on this section that you can see vultures, which are numerous here. Some exposed passages are equipped with barriers, so caution is advised.
(3) Pass close to the Vase de Sèvres and then the Vase de Chine, two distinctive monoliths overlooking high cliffs.
Caution! It is strongly advised not to attempt to reach the base of these monoliths as there is a drop of several hundred metres below...
Continue eastwards then north-eastwards. You will reach a crossroads, which marks the end of the cliff-top section.
(4) Take the path through the forest heading north-north-west towards Cassagnes. Ignore any forks in the path and stay on the main path (marked). You will rejoin the GR®6 after a wide right-hand bend.
Red and white markings
(5) Continue eastwards until you reach the hamlet of Cassagnes.
(6) Continue along the small road, which has a few bends.
(7) At a fork, leave the road and take a track that branches off to the right. The track descends, making a few hairpin bends.
(8) Leave the track for a path that branches off to the left (north), climbing quite steeply (be careful to spot the start of this path) and reach Les Arcs de St-Pierre.
(9) Pass under these natural arch-shaped formations. Continue north then turn right (east). Cross a small valley and ignore the path to the Grotte de la Baumelle. Continue eastwards through sparse woodland, coming out onto a pasture and reaching a road.
(10) Cross the road and take the small road opposite, which quickly leads to La Viale. At the crossroads, turn left and then immediately right: the stopover lodge is located at the bottom of this street (E).
