GR® 36 markings + yellow markings for the Deux Puechs trail
(S/E) Return to the village bridge and, at this point, take the Route de Trébas on your left, which passes under a short tunnel. Continue a few steps into the village and follow a small tarmac road on your left, marked for two routes (theGR® 36 in red and white and the Deux Puechs route in yellow). Further on, you will rejoin the Route de Trébas. Take a short right-left turn on this road to climb up the Route du Blasou.
(1) Cross the bridge and turn right, following the stream on your left to the south. At the Vinçou crossroads, continue straight ahead and after 200 metres take a path on your left that leads to Puech Cabot.
Yellow markings for the Deux Puechs route
(2) Leave theGR® 36 and follow the Deux Puechs route (marked in yellow) to the right towards Borie Grande. Further on, cross the Alban road and take the path opposite, which descends into the woods in wide hairpin bends.
(3) At the bottom, turn right, heading north-west, and follow a stream that passes in front of the Resse farm. Continue straight ahead, leaving Las Fenials on your left, until you reach a small road that crosses the stream.
(4) Cross the bridge and then take a path on your right that briefly joins a small road leading to Le Plô.
(5) Before Le Plô, leave this road on the left and take a path through the woods that climbs parallel to the D74 and then joins it. Cross this road and take the path directly opposite, which rejoins the D74 a little further up. Cross the D74 to reach a pass marked by a large cross.
(6) At this pass, follow the yellow-marked Deux Puechs route on the right, which climbs up a wide dirt track towards two pylons.
(7) Before reaching the pylons, stop at the path that descends to Ambialet to admire the beautiful view of the Tarn river meandering around the village. Turn back and descend the same path to the pass and its large cross.
Yellow markings for the Cabanes route
(6) Head south-west up a narrow path lined with hedges that leads to La Canague. Continue along this path until it joins the D74. After 200 metres on the D74, turn right onto a small road, then leave it by turning left to reach Les Cabannes.
(8) Just before Les Cabanes, take a path on your right that descends into the meadows. Pass through two cattle gates before descending northwest along a long path through the woods to Pounis, where you will join the GR® 36.
(9) Continue straight ahead on theGR® for a short while before turning left onto a small road that descends to La Condomine. Take care when crossing the Route de la Vallée, which is quite busy, especially in summer.
(10) Take Rue de la Condomine, reach the pretty village and its square, and walk past the church. After the cemetery, turn 90 degrees right onto Rue Durorch, then take Rue de la Heath on the left, below the D172. This street passes several second homes.
(11) On leaving La Condomine, the small road continues opposite on a rough track through the undergrowth (below the D172). This track emerges just before the Ambialet bridge: be careful, as this part of the route can be slippery and muddy.
(S/E) Follow the road to the car park.
