Start from Square du 19 Mars 1962, or Place du Général de Gaulle; both car parks are located on either side of the town hall.
(S/E) At the fork in the road, on the corner of Square du 19 Mars 1962, take the street on the right, pass number 13 (Rue Traversière du Casteillat) and, at the end, turn right (Rue du Castellat). Follow this path (Sentier du Tour du Pays d'Olmes), leave the village and reach a three-way junction.
(1) Take the path on the left and continue towards Fontestorbes. Reach the River Grand Hers and continue along it, slightly above the water, until you come to a fork with buildings on your left.
(2) Turn left, cross the footbridge over the Hers and discover the Fontestorbes Fountain.
(3) Then return to the fork after crossing the footbridge again.
(2) Take the Sentier du Tour du Pays d'Olmes on the left and head straight on, still overlooking the river. Leave the forest and follow its edge to Fougax. Head straight on, along Rue Saint-Michel, to reach the Place de l'Abreuvoir, with a fountain.
(4) Take the Chemin de Gervés on the right, leave the village and, at the Fork in the road, turn right towards the forest. Climb up to a building (Barthole).
(5) Continue along the path that climbs and reach a fork at the Col du Figuier.
(6) Continue along the path on the right which descends into the forest and reach a Fork in the road.
(7) Take the path on the left and reach a track suitable for vehicles.
(8) Turn right, walk for about 50 metres and, just before the house, head down to the left (Sentier de la Vallée de l'Hers).
(9) About 20 metres before the Ruisseau de Méde, take the path on the right which climbs slightly. At the track, turn left and head towards the edge of the woods.
(10) Head straight on, past a farm, and continue along the tarmac. Take a sharp left-hand bend, then look for the start of a path on the left just after the bend ends to the right, directly beneath a power line.
(11) Take this path, pass under the power line and head down through the undergrowth.
(12) At the fork, turn right and continue along the hillside. Then follow the crest of the ridge to reach the car park at Square du 19 Mars 1962 (S/E).
I found this hike difficult because of the terrain!
