Park in the car park by the climbing centre, just above Pollionnay.
(Start/Finish) With your back to the climbing centre, cross the road leading to the Col de la Croix du Ban and take the small tarmac path directly opposite. Continue straight up a steep slope along a pleasant path until you reach the road leading to the Col de la Luère.
(1) Slightly above this, take a small path that runs alongside the road to the Col de la Luère.
(2) At the pass, cross to the left and take a small path that climbs gently to the right towards Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid. You’ll enjoy the unobstructed view to the right over Saint-Pierre-La-Palud before walking alongside the D113.
(3) At the inn, turn left onto the path, then right. From a few brick-built turrets, take in the view on your left, towards the south.
(4) At the fork, turn left and take a path that descends quite steeply for a while until it joins the D50.
(5) Cross this road with care and continue down the path to the hamlet of Cunieux.
(6) From there, you’ll walk along a small tarmac road, passing through the hamlet of Roche Cocu, then Rousseau.
(7) Just on leaving Rousseau, take the path on the right which leads back onto a small tarmac road; continue along this road to the left.
(8) At the junction, turn left and head uphill, cross the main road (Vaugneray) with care and continue uphill to a cross at a junction.
(9) At the cross, carry on straight ahead along the road until you reach the next cross. The path is marked in yellow. Cross the road and carry on straight ahead, then cross another road.
(10) At thethird crossroad, take the path leading down opposite until it joins a main road. Walk along the left-hand side of the road, on the path behind the safety barrier.
(11) After crossing a small bridge, take the path on the left which leads back up towards Pollionnay. Cross a road and continue straight on along this path. After a right-hand bend, you’ll come out onto a road with a cross at the junction.
(12) Turn left onto the tarmac road and walk alongside a pond on your left. Once you’ve passed the pond, begin the final climb back to the starting point: the Pollionnay climbing centre (S/E).
