Access: take the road that crosses Ceillac towards the Cristillan valley and park in the small car park opposite the wooden sign marked Le Villard.
(S/E) Take the wide path (north-northeast) to the junction with the forest track.
(1) Turn left and head towards the houses. Cross the hamlet of Le Villard until you find the start of the path to the Col de Bramousse on your right.
(2) Stay on the track until you reach a new trail junction above the small Sainte-Barbe Chapel.
(3) Take this very good path on the right. Follow the yellow markings. Cross a wooded area of spruce and then larch trees. Reach theGR®58crossroads.
(4) Leave the path coming from the left and follow the red and white markings on the right ofthe GR®58. You will reach the Col de Bramousse.
(5) Turn right towards Col Fromage, leaving theGR®58. A little further on, you will come to a crossroads.
(6) Continue to Château Jean Grossan via a round-trip trail to the rocky promontory overlooking the Cristillan valley. Retrace your steps and turn right.
After a fairly easy climb heading north, you will reach a Y-junction.
(7) Turn sharply right (south) and stay at roughly the same altitude below the ridges until you reach another crossroads.
(8). Take a path on your left to the unnamed peak at 2582m. There you will discover a magnificent panorama, not to be missed!
(9) Retrace your steps to the previous crossroads.
(8). Continue eastwards, then descend via the winding path (avoid descending via the ridge path) to Col Fromage, where you will rejoin theGR®5.
