Access: from Saint-Nazaire-le-Désert, take the D135 towards Saillans, then turn left onto the D596 and follow this road to Rochefourchat. The hike starts at the corner of the path leading to the church.
(S/E) Take the south-southwest dirt track towards Les Pradaux. When you reach the Alexis ruins, the track turns into a well-marked path that climbs steeply to the right and then continues along the mountainside to the Pradaux ruins, which you go around below, ignoring the path on the left.
(1) Just after the ruins, take the path heading north-west that climbs up to the right. After a left turn, it continues over the top and crosses the heath. It arrives in a beech undergrowth and then comes out onto the Couspeau mountain pastures and finally reaches the summit (altitude 1427).
(2) Make a round trip to the left towards the south to the summit of Serre Delègue (altitude 1482).
(3) Retrace your steps to the previous fork.
(2) Continue northwards along the ridges to Col Puzaou.
(4) Continue along the ridges to the summit of Grand Delmas (1,544 metres).
(5) Continue following the ridge, then take the fairly steep path that descends to the right. This path enters the forest, winds around a few bends, then arrives at a relatively flat clearing.
(6) At the end of the clearing, in the bend that turns to the left, leave the path and take the small forest track heading east on the right. Follow the track, ignoring the paths branching off to the right or left, pass a wood storage area and join the carriage track in a bend.
(7) Continue towards Rochefourchat on the right, first uphill for about 200 metres, then downhill along the mountainside. Leave a track on the left and continue downhill to the village of Rochefourchat (S/E).
