(S) Return to the previous day’s trail at the car park, opposite the lodge. Descend the gully to the left of the car park barrier, keeping well to the left of the Dyane stream. Walk parallel to the road and pass the picnic area (located further up) to find a path further on.
(1) Take this path and continue walking parallel to the road. You will reach the crossroads, below Puy Pouge and the Dyane Farm.
(2) Keep left to pass between the farm and the road. Continue due east until you reach the road at the crossroads of the Forêt de Peyre-Lévade.
(3) Turn right onto the forest track, which is not suitable for vehicles. Heading due south, reach the hamlet of Bressouleille and the D996.
(4) Follow it to the left for a few hundred metres until you reach a new pathhead at the left-hand bend.
(5) Turn right onto this path; it is marked in yellow. Go round the Rochers de Pousseterre and then begin a slightly steep descent.
(6) Cross the D996 road again and then enter Chambon-sur-Lac.
This steep little path will take you to Chambon-sur-Lac
(7) Cross the village heading due east, following the Couze de Chaudefour river and then the Ruisseau des Riveaux stream. Reach the lake at the junction with theGR®®30.
(8) Take the path opposite and follow the lake. Pass the picnic area, continue along theGR®® to reach a Y-junction just past the tennis courts.
(9) Turn almost 180° to the right, staying on theGR®®. A few metres further on, theGR®® branches off to the left. Follow it, cross the D618, and reach the village of Jassat.
(10) Continue straight ahead on theGR®® to head into the forest via the Chemin des Quayres. You will reach the Cheix stream. Cross it and then turn left. You will soon reach a junction at the next bend.
(11) Continue to the right on theGR®®. Begin a steady climb to reach the Courbanges lodge (E), today’s destination, via the Chemin des Quayres.
