A car park with around fifteen spaces is available for walkers at La Rivière, the starting point of the walk.
(S/E) Return to the finishing road, turn right and then left a hundred metres further on.
(1) Do not continue along the road (private property), but take the path on the left that runs alongside this property.
(2) At the crossroads, turn left and rejoin the tarmac at Chemin des Bourbous.
(3) Follow the road in the same direction, cross the locality and continue along the path through the cultivated plot. At the end of the plot, take the wide track on the right and go as far as the hairpin bend.
(4) Take the shaded path on the left, leaving the private property on the right. Reach Les Gauthiers.
(5) Turn right to follow the forest road that climbs towards the ridge and joins it at a small clearing.
(6) Cross the clearing, leaving the forest road on your left as it rises and the cabin on your right. At the end of the clearing, take the path on the right that climbs through the forest towards the Raye pylon.
(7) Leave the path leading down the other side and take the path leading off to the right into the forest towards the Raye pylon. Follow the ridge through the forest and reach the orientation table facing west: Rhône valley, Ardèche. Beware of some vertiginous passages at the top of the ridges (see photos).
(8) Continue along the ridge. To admire the view over the Rhône valley, take the narrow path to the left of the station fence.
(9) Return to the path for a few metres and descend to the left, taking the forest road. You can cut across several bends by following the path that serves as a shortcut. Reach the intersection with the Chemin de Marquet (hill 774).
(10) Turn right on this forest road towards La Boussière.
(11) At the entrance to the village (where there are horses and Highlander cows), take the path on the left into the forest. Fifty metres further on, at the intersection of three paths, follow the one in the middle, leaving the path leading up to the Rocher de Saint-Supière on your left. Two hundred metres further on, the path leads to a forest road, which you should take on the left.
(12) After a short climb, the forest road is no longer clearly visible. Take the grassy section on the right to find it again a little further on. Continue until you come to a barrier.
(13) On the right, take a path that winds down to Les Arthauds and the fork in the road you passed earlier.
(2) Take the path on the left that runs alongside the property you passed on the outward journey.
(1) Keep to the right to return to the car park (S/E).
