The route starts at the first car park at the entrance to Entraunes.

(1) Continue following the signs for Col des Champs and Clue du Chaudan; the track then turns into a very well-maintained path. The going is easy; you must continue to follow the red and white markings. You will reach the crossroads at marker 259.

(2) Carry on straight ahead along the path as it climbs, still heading towards the Col des Champs.

(3) At marker 262, carry on straight ahead (towards Col des Champs/Cime de Voya), still following the red and white markings. Shortly after this marker, the slope becomes steeper but the going remains easy and pleasant through a larch forest. The path reaches a junction at
marker 264.

(4) Head towards Col des Champs and continue to follow the red and white markings, which head north and lead to the pass and marker 265.

(5) At the historic Col des Champs, turn left onto the track towards the road pass.

(6) Once you reach the Col des Champs road pass, continue south-east, off the trail, heading for the Cime de Voya, until you reach marker 249a (IGN map).

(7) Head towards the Cime de Voya and follow the narrow path to the summit.

(8) Cime de Voya. Return to marker 249a via the same route.

(7) Turn left towards Val Pelens; you should now follow the yellow markings. You will reach the Route du Col des Champs and marker 248.

(9) Cross the D78 road to reach the path on the other side, still following the yellow markings. Cross the road once more; the path runs alongside it before veering eastwards to reach marker 246.

(10) Turn left towards Serre d’Au/Entraunes, continuing to follow the yellow markings. You will now be walking along a track heading north-west, leading to the Ravin des Rinières. Look out for a yellow marker on a tree.

(11) Leave the track and take the path that turns left; continue to follow the yellow markings; the path becomes faint in places but finding your way is straightforward.

(12) At marker 254, continue following the direction of Entraunes; further on, you’ll come to marker 253, which marks the Serre d’Au, and from there the slope becomes noticeably steeper. However, the route remains easy and eventually joins the Col de la Cayolle road at marker 252.

(13) Follow this road for about one kilometre due north to return to the starting point in Entraunes (S/E).
