Start: car park at Montrosier town hall.
(S/E) With your back to the town hall, head east across the square and take the dead-end road on the right. A few metres further on, take the path on the left between two houses. Follow this path uphill. You will reach a junction with a small tarmac road.
(1) Turn left onto it. Leave this road and head into the forest on the right, continuing uphill. You’ll reach a crossroads with a track.
(2) Turn right to reach the edge of the cliff above the Bonnan valley: magnificent view. Follow the edge of the cliff along a narrow path. Turn left to begin a relatively difficult descent, especially on slippery ground. Reach the banks of the Bonnan.
(3) Turn left and, after a few steps, reach the stunning waterfall.
Return to the crossroads, cross the stream via a small bridge and continue left along this ascending path. A final fording to begin the climb towards Roussayrolles. Reach the junction with a road.
(4) Turn left towards the Touron farm. At the junction, head straight on along the path that runs alongside a meadow where Salers cattle are often grazing. Make sure you close the electric gate properly. Turn right to reach the centre of Roussayrolles.
(5) Leave the village heading south-east, then south. Follow theGRP® Cordes-Penne-Coustous trail (yellow-red markings) for a short while.
At the next junction, cross over to the opposite side then turn right towards Peyralade. Enter a wood, then exit to reach another junction in a clearing.
(6) Keep to the right on the road, continue on and enter the woods again; on emerging, you’ll find a junction with a stony track typical of the Causse terrain.
(7) Turn right onto it and follow it until you reach theGRP® mentioned earlier.
(8) Turn right onto it and head downhill; it is a wide path that bends sharply to the right and narrows as it descends to the valley and the Laussière stream. At the bottom of the valley, turn right onto a small road and cross the stream.
(9) Very soon, leave the road to the left and climb up a fairly steep path towards the ridge.
Please note: This section is a modification ofthe originalGRP® route, which ran further north; the old route is still shown on the IGN map. Continue to reach the top of the ridge.
(10) Take the wide path on the left:the oldGRP® coming from La Clède. There is a dolmen nearby on the right. Head towards the Pas de la Clède.
(11) Turn right onto a grassy path that descends gently towards the east. Ignore a path on the right, then turn right at the Fork in the road. You’ll come to a small tarmac road; follow it to the right and, after three bends, you’ll find a path.
(12) Take it to the left and begin the descent, reaching a crossroads with several directions at a place called La Débalade.
(13) First turn left then right here to continue the descent due north; at the entrance to Montrosier, follow the D34 road, turn right at the cemetery to reach the Montrosier town hall car park (S/E).
