Car park in front of the Reilhac village hall.
(S/E) From the car park, head down into the village via Rue de la Fontaine and take the first right (Rue des Vergers).
(1) At the left-hand bend, take the path that climbs to the right up towards the hills above Reilhac. About 500 metres further on, stay on the main path by turning right at the Fork in the road and continue to the junction at Le Grouspet.
(2) Turn left; be careful, as there is a steep and very stony descent for 500 to 600 metres, where walking poles may be very useful. You’ll reach the railway line.
(3) Follow the railway line on your right (do not go under the bridge) until you reach the Chalède farm.
(4) Once at the farm, turn left down the lane which joins the railway line – do not cross it. Continue alongside it via Rue Guynemer and then Rue Louis Armand.
(5) At the bend, opposite a small pedestrian underpass beneath the railway line, walk on for 50 metres and take the wide path on the right, running alongside a horse pasture. Pass a road on your left and, shortly afterwards, turn right uphill into the woods of La Chalède.
(6) At the T-junction, turn left and carry on without leaving this path.
(7) Join theGRP® and follow it to the right until you reach the road.
(8) Leave theGRP®, cross the road and take the track opposite. Further on, you’ll reach another road.
(9) Follow this road to the left for a few dozen metres and take the first path on the right. Then begin the descent towards the hamlet of Guérin, staying on this main path.
(10) At the entrance to Guérin, turn right and head towards the hamlet of Francon, which you will pass through.
(11) At the bend, cross the Ruisseau de Peyrusse and turn right onto a small path running alongside the stream. Then stay on the path closest to the stream.
(12) At the three-way junction, turn left. Ignore the first path on the right and take the next one to cross Peyrusse.
(13) Head up to the left to get a closer look at the magnificent Peyrusse Chapel (there’s a water source and a good spot for a break near the cemetery). Return to the road and follow it to the left. At the Escalier fork in the road, turn right to join the D585.
(14) Turn right and continue for about 400 metres.
(15) Leave the departmental road and take the road on the right, which quickly turns into a dirt track as it bends to the left. When you reach the first ridge, continue to the left, from where you can see almost as far as the end of the Allier on your left whilst following the D585 along the heights.
(16) After passing Reilhac cemetery, head up to the right alongside the housing estate and, once at the top, turn left after stepping over a low wall. Carry on straight ahead until you reach your vehicles (S/E).
