The start of the hike is just before the car park at the entrance to the old village of Teyssières.
(S/E) From there, take the track on the right and follow the signs for Cougoir (marked in yellow and red). After three hairpin bends, take the first path on the left and do not continue on the one that leads to a house. After a few metres, you will rejoin the path you will take to return.
(1) Continue along the path towards Col du Bouton (yellow signposts), which will quickly turn into a well-marked trail. Follow a wire fence, then a four-wire electric fence, and rejoin theGR® trail that you left at point 1 at Adret de la Lionne.
(2) Follow the path that climbs gradually towards the Col de la Pause until you reach it.
(3) Take the track on the left until you reach a fenced meadow. Opposite, halfway up, you will come to a metal gate in the fence, which marks the start of the trail again.
This crosses a short section of forest and arrives at a crossroads.
(4) Continue left uphill towards Montagne La Croix and ignore the sign for Cougoir via Col de Venterol.
This well-marked route climbs directly through mountain pastures to Montagne La Croix, up to the ridge, and continues along the summit, passing by the 1221 m peak. After a short descent and climb, you will reach the summit of Cougoir.
(5) The descent follows the same route to Adret de la Lionne.
(2) Then continue straight ahead on the yellow and red marked trail towards "Pignes par le travers". This descends through the woods and bypasses the village of Teyssières above to rejoin the trail you left on the way up.
(1) Take the path on the left to return to the village of Teyssières (S/E).
