The route starts at the fort’s car park, which is already a remarkable site overlooking the Tinée valley to the south and the village of Rimplas to the north.
(S/E) Set off again along the access road to the cemetery.
(1) On the left, access to the Chapelle de la Madeleine.
Walk alongside the cemetery, take the path on the right and arrive directly in the centre of the village.
Walk through the pretty old village of Rimplas from south to north until you reach a crossroads.
(2) At marker 157, turn right up the steps to walk the anti-clockwise route and enjoy the morning sun.
You’ll come out onto a road.
(3) Follow it to the left until you reach a small cubic building on the right.
(4) Return to the marked path, which is slightly hidden at the start. In fact, simply continue straight ahead towards the north. Reach marker 158a and continue northwards along the track furthest to the right.
(5) At marker 158, continue left along the track.
(6) Highest point of the walk at around 1,380 m: a remarkable viewpoint ideal for a picnic with panoramic views.
Continue along the track, which descends into pleasant woodland and forms a circular route to the left before heading due south.
(7) At marker 166a, take the track on the right which descends into the valley.
(8) At marker 166, continue left towards Rimplas.
(2) Cross the village in the opposite direction to the outward journey.
(9) Unlike on the way there, follow the access road to the fort on the right, which offers more fine views and leads gently uphill back to the starting point (S/E).
