Park at Col du Vaset (D204). :
(S/E) Walk past the hunters’ hut, then turn left about a hundred metres further on, following the white and yellowPR® markings. Walk for about 400 m.
(1) Leave thePR® markings and take the small path through the Douglas firs and then the oak trees on the right.
You will come to a track known as the “chemin de l’eau”, which you follow to the left.
(2) Leave the track and follow the small path on the right down to the water reservoir.
(3) Walk past it and follow the track downhill. At the hairpin bend, turn left, walk past the Charreyre house (mountain bikers, proceed at walking pace) then join the D264 at the hamlet of Aurance. Follow it to your left until you reach a small shed on the right by the roadside.
(4) Take the small path opposite. Be careful: the small bridge over the stream is slippery and narrow. Continue north-east until you come out onto a small tarmac road. Follow this road to the left to reach the centre of the village of Saint-Michel-d’Aurance (church).
(5) Turn left between the houses, keep left to pass in front of the town hall and continue on the D264A to the Pialon crossroads.
(6) Turn right to pass in front of the house, then cross carefully to join the track opposite. Keep right at the junction and continue to thePR® signpost “Source Banban”.
(7) At this signpost, take the track on the left which goes uphill.
(8) At this point, do not follow the white and yellowPR® markings but take the path opposite, which descends slightly then climbs until you rejoin the “chemin de l’eau” track.
(2) Retrace your steps to return to the Col du Vaset car park (S/E).
