Departure from the hamlet of Le Plan. Car park on the left before the bridge.
(S/E) Continue along the arrival road and cross the Torrent de l'Arrondine. After a few metres, turn right and follow the downhill street. Pass to the right of the chairlift departure point and cross the bridge over the Torrent de Jaillet. Then follow the grassy track that branches off to the left. This climbs alongside the torrent and reaches a track suitable for vehicles.
(1) Turn sharply right and follow the track. Pass the intermediate station of the Tête du Torraz chairlift, climb the switchbacks below the line and reach the next fork.
(2) Follow the path that starts on the left between the two tracks. After a few hairpin bends, pass under the chairlift and cross a grassy track. Continue until you reach a new chairlift departure point (marked as a ski lift on the map).
(3) Climb a few metres under the chairlift and turn right onto the path, which becomes more visible. After a left turn, the path crosses a grassy slope, passes under the chairlift again and climbs to a flat area.
(4) Continue left on an almost horizontal path that crosses two grassy areas (ski slopes). Continue for another 150 metres or so and you will find a start on the right.
(5) Turn onto the path climbing to the right and reach the summit of the northern shoulder of Tête du Torraz. Follow this path on a steady climb to the summit.
(6) After enjoying the panoramic view, continue left along the track that more or less follows the ridge. Pass the Tête du Petit Torraz and the Tête de Christomet, then descend to Bonjournal with its eponymous inn.
(7) Follow the track that climbs to the right.
(8) Leave the path on the left and continue on a steady climb to the Christomet chairlift arrival station.
(9) Pass to the left of the arrival station and follow the downhill track. Leave a few metres after a right turn and continue along the top of the ridge. After a short, steep climb, pass the summit of the Éperon, then descend and climb again to reach an elevation of 1,768 metres. From there, descend to a flat area with a trail coming in from the right. Continue left on level ground and reach the Col du Jaillet after about 150 metres.
(10) Continue along the track that descends to the left, pass below a chalet and reach a fork.
(11) Turn left, cross a small area of peat bog, enter the undergrowth and descend along the Torrent du Jaillet on your left. At the edge of the woods, the path continues along the mountainside to a track.
(12) Follow it to the left and you will reach a road.
(13) Continue right on this road until you reach the hamlet of Le Plan (S/E).
