(S/E) Set off from the school towards the Chapelle Bleue along the tarmac road that runs behind a sports ground. Once you reach Lamourier, take the track on the left.
(1) At the start of the circular route, do not follow the signs opposite but head towards the water tower just above on the left. Walk alongside it on a path, leaving the track. Further on, rejoin the track.
(2) Do not take the path directly opposite, but continue along the track to the left until you reach a hairpin bend to the right (several hundred metres further on).
(3) The start of the path isn’t very well signposted, but there are blue and yellow markings which you should follow until you come across the yellow markings again. It’s quite a steep climb from there.
(4) You’ll come across a sign for “Baisse de la Minière” and should carry on to the pass, keeping to the right.
(5) Once you reach the track, follow it to the right as far as the Col Saint Michel (it’s all downhill from there).
(6) Climb up to Rocca Sparviera (it’s magnificent), passing in front of the Saint-Michel Chapel.
(7) Head back down to the Col Saint-Michel and take the return route, following the sign for Coaraze (this time it’s all downhill). You’ll find yourself at the junction by the water tower.
(1) Return by road, taking the opposite route to the way out (S/E).
