Access: From Remiremont, take the D417 towards La Bresse. At Le Syndicat (Bréhavilliers), turn right onto the D43. At the Vagney roundabout, turn left and enter Vagney. At the stop sign, turn right. After 200 metres, turn left onto the D34 towards Basse-sur-le-Rupt. Continue for 5 km to reach the car park at the church in Planois (also known as Basse-sur-le-Rupt).
(S/E) Follow the blue signposts to the point (6). Go up the D34 (main road) for about 100 metres. At the stop sign, turn sharp left and, a few metres further on, turn right onto the path that winds north-east to reach a paved road.
(1) Go down the path on the right and pass between two houses. After a very wet section, go up to the right, then left, and you will arrive at the first viewpoint (elevation 806).
(2) At the crossroads, turn right and climb towards Le Pollé (picnic table, magnificent view of Planois).
Head east-northeast. Follow the edge of the forest and then continue into the open. At a crossroads, take a small path on the right that leads to La Piquante Pierre (1,008 m).
(4) Follow a wide path north-east. At a fork, go right (east) to reach the Col de Menufosse (966m).
(5) Continue straight ahead. Leave the Chemin de l'Envers des Routes on your left and continue to the crossroads (1,000 m, bench, magnificent view to the south).
(6) Follow the yellow triangle trail south-east, which descends rapidly. Cross the hamlet of Les Moinats and join a tarmac road that leads to the Col de la Croix des Moinats (890m).
(7) Take the tarmac road C12 on the left towards Droit de Parfongoutte. A hundred metres further down, take a wide red cross path on the right which climbs southwards. Don't miss the view of La Bresse to the west and Cornimont to the south on your left. At a three-way junction, turn right to the Col de Lansau (920m).
(8) Follow the wide path westwards downhill to two houses and join a tarmac road. Turn right and climb up to the Col des Hayes (887m).
(9) Continue left on the very wide path (Red Cross). Leave a path that descends (Blue Cross) directly to Planois on your right. Looking back, you can see the entire route you have covered since the start of the hike.
Go up a tarmac road to a picnic table at the edge of the forest.
(10) Take a beautiful little path on the edge of the forest, marked with three rings (blue, yellow and red). Follow this path to a crossroads.
(11) Leave the blue and red rings here and turn right onto the yellow ring (numbers 52 and 53 painted on trees). A hundred metres further on, turn left onto the wide path that leads to the Croix du Haut du Roc (1,014 metres).
(12) Retrace your steps and then turn right onto a red triangle trail that passes in front of the Tables de Charlemagne. Follow the red triangle and descend to the buildings of a holiday camp. Then take the wide path on the right. At the next fork, keep left.
(13) After about 100 metres, leave this path and take a trail on the left. From here, descend, crossing several trails: follow the red triangle markings, and only these, until you reach Les Auberts.
(14) Follow the road to the right and you will come out onto the D34. Follow this road to the left for 200 metres to return to the starting point (S/E).
