(S/E) From the car park behind the church, turn right and then take the path immediately on the right marked with a red ring. It climbs up to a crossroads.
(1) Leave the Anneau Rouge markings and turn left onto the path marked Anneau Bleu towards La Graude - Col de Bagenelles. It joins the bend in a carriage road at a place called La Graude.
(2) Take the path on the right for a few dozen metres, then turn right to reach Chemin du Forupt at a place called Les Hobels. Turn left until you reach the next crossroads.
(3) Leave the Blue Ring markings and follow the Green Ring markings on the left. Join the D48 and follow it to the right until you reach the pass.
(4) At Col des Bagenelles, take theGR®®5marked with a red rectangle on the right, which climbs to the left of the cross. This is Chemin du Haïcot. It heads east then south and reaches a crossroads as it leaves the forest.
(5) Continue on theGR®®5trail to the left, ignoring the paths branching off to the left or right, and climb up to the crossroads before the Haïcot refuge.
(6) Leave the small road to the Auberge-Refuge on your left, cross over and continue on theGR®®5to the large crossroads at Place Arthur.
(7) Turn right onto the path marked with red-white-red rectangles towards Le Plat.
(8) At the crossroads at Le Plat, there are two options:
- stay on the easier red/white/red path to point 10;
- follow the unmarked path towards La Grande Roche. This option is marked on the map and passes through the Chalet Saint-Hubert crossroads, where you should turn left.
(9) At La Grande Roche, there is a beautiful view from this rock over an area dug with trenches.
Retrace your steps to the Saint-Hubert crossroads, turn left onto the unmarked path and descend to rejoin the Red-White-Red marked path.
(10) Turn left and then, about 700 m further on, take a sharp right turn.
(11) At the next crossroads, leave the red-white-red markings and continue straight ahead on the blue disc marked path.
(12) At the next crossroads, don't miss the viewpoint without going up to it. Take the path that quickly joins the road to the Brezouard farmhouse inn, keep right until you reach the big right-hand bend.
(13) At the entrance to the bend, leave the road and descend to the left. This shortcut joins theGR®®532(Yellow Rectangle) and the road that descends towards Le Bonhomme.
Ignore theGR®®532and follow the small road to Faurupt on the left, leaving it on the left a few dozen metres after crossing the bridge. Continue for about 250 m to find a path that branches off to the left.
(14) Turn left at this point (do not descend towards Le Bonhomme when you reach the tarmac road).
(15) Descend via this path marked with a blue ring. Further on, at a right-hand bend, ignore the red ring path and continue north then west. After La Basse, you will come to the crossroads of the circular path and the path you took on the way out.
(16) Difficult passage, considered tricky by many.
(1) Leave the Blue Ring markings and take the path you took on the way up (Red Ring markings) and descend to your starting point (S/E).
