Park at the Col de Font Belle car park, where everything is well signposted.
(S/E) Follow a large forest track heading north-northwest, which follows theGR®6(white and red markings). Very quickly, you will reach an old forest house that is being renovated to accommodate a lodge.
(1) Pass the old forest house and continue straight ahead (north-west) on the track.
(2) Climb up to the right along a path. Follow the markings and signs indicating the ridge, ignoring a few side paths. After a few hairpin bends, the path continues straight ahead (north-northwest) but the slope is not steep. As you emerge from the trees, you may wonder where the path is, as the rocky ridge is impressive. The view begins to open up and you can see the Lure mountain and the Sisteronnais in the distance. The last few hairpin bends take you to the ridge at an altitude of 1,746 metres.
(3) When you arrive, switch to the north side, where the view is clear and you can see some of the peaks of the Ubaye.
(4) About 250 metres further on, leave theGR®6and follow the path on the right that runs along the ridge. A little further on, you will walk along a narrow gorge, which is not very deep, but when you see how vertical the rock face is, you will be glad it is not loose. The path approaches the ridge; there is no particular danger, but be careful as the ridge is steep. Continue to the summit at 1,880 metres.
(5) Return by the same route to the old forest house.
(1) See practical information
For a change, follow the forest discovery trail on the right with information panels, which takes you to the other side of the Col de Font Belle. Cross the D3 and continue opposite. The discovery trail makes a sharp left turn and joins a wide track. Follow this track on the left.
(6) Enjoy the beautiful view of the entire Géruen ridge, then turn left to cross the D3 and return to the car park where you started (S/E).
