Park in the car park in front of the equestrian centre.
(S/E) Opposite the equestrian centre, follow the road to the left, heading north. Pass the first junction on the left (with various signs) and continue to thesecond junction. Turn left and follow the road for a hundred metres. Just before a left-hand bend, take the path on the right.
(1) At the three-way junction, follow the path to the right and then, a few metres further on, turn right again.
(2) At the next junction, follow the path downhill to the left heading north into the Chaud Clapier valley. There is a slight difference from the IGN map due to livestock parks and grazing areas. A little further on, join the green and yellow marked path and follow it straight ahead, heading north.
At the next junction, continue along the path opposite until you reach the unpaved Montué forest road.
(3) Take this forest road on the left and stay on it. Pass under the Forêt ski lift, under the Cairn ski lift, then further on, under the Combe ski lift (see IGN, no name signs). Continue along this road heading north until it begins a wide left turn and heads south-west. On the left, you will reach the start of an unmarked gravel path, which is quite wide at first.
(4) Turn left. This path climbs quite steeply at first, then becomes a trail and joins the mountain pastures. Go through the gate (handle) and climb through the meadows, not far from the edge of the forest, heading south. Pass the Montué spring (sign on the ground). Small, clearly visible paths lead to the ridge, then skirt around it higher up on the right, avoiding small rocky outcrops. Then head south and walk towards the Montué ridge.
(5) Follow the ridge southwards and, after several small peaks, you will reach the Serre de Montué (marker at the foot of the summit cairn).
(6) From Serre de Montué (1,706 m), continue along this ridge, crossing (or possibly bypassing) two small peaks to descend and cross theGR® 93.
(7) Climb up opposite, heading south, to reach a peak (1,692 m). Then descend through meadows, heading east, to rejoin theGR®93near Pas de l'Infernet.
(8) Quickly leave theGR® 93 and walk to the right along the ridge to the Porte d'Urle. Exercise extreme caution (do not approach the edge of the cliffs). There are alternating ascents and descents.
(9) From the pylon above the Porte d'Urle, turn left and follow the signs carefully to avoid the danger of getting too close to the edge of the cliffs. Reach the Porte d'Urle (information boards), then further down, the wide path leading north to Font d'Urle and past the equestrian centre (S/E).
