Park in the car park near the Fontaine de l'Ours, at the end of the D13b road coming from Herran.
(S/E) Head west-southwest and, after about 100 metres, turn right (west) onto a wide path that climbs through the woods (the purple line on the 1:25,000 map is inaccurate at this point). Follow a few hairpin bends and then climb up the Coume de Hiouernède.
(1) When you reach the mountain pasture, pass the metal enclosures and a picnic table on your right. Continue along the well-marked path to the Cabane de Roque Pi, the right side of which is open (shelter available, picnic table).
(2) Opposite the hut, take the path that heads south and climbs quite steeply through the mountain pasture.
(3) When you reach the ridge, turn left towards the peaks (towards Sommet de Cournudère). The path, marked in red and yellow, is well signposted.
Be careful, the slopeis very steep, so take extra care in poor visibility (e.g. fog).
(4) At Pas de l'Âne (panorama), continue along the ridge towards the east, following the red and yellow markings.
(5) At the summit of Tuc de Tucol, leave the ridge, descend to the left and enter the woods. Follow the yellow markings and descend through the woods.
Be careful, as the descent can be slippery in wet conditions.
(6) At the crossroads, turn right.
Be careful, there is a tricky section for a few metres (steep and slippery path).
At the bottom, return to the car park (S/E).
