To reach the starting point, take a gravel track leading from Bethmale Pond towards the Mount Ner (Mont Noir) car park. Stop at a car park in the hollow of a bend, 400 m before the end of the track. It is possible to camp in this grassy, partly shaded car park.
(S/E) Take the track leading up to the Mount Ner car park. This track is partly in the shade in the morning.
(1) From the Mount Ner car park, the track is closed to vehicles. Follow it; it descends slightly towards the Cirque de Campuls.
(2) In the cirque, you can see a small waterfall. Head straight ahead across the grassy area onto the path which climbs steeply up the slope through the undergrowth. This is the most difficult section. The path then winds its way up the slope and joins theGR®®10.
(3) Turn right towards the Étang d’Ayes, which is about five minutes away. Continue on to reach the western shore.
(4) Étang d’Ayes: ‘You can swim here and pick blueberries.’ Turn back to the previous junction.
(3) Stay on theGR®®10, heading straight on towards the Col d’Auèdole.
(5) Pass the Col d’Auèdole and, opposite, take theGR®®10Dtowards Mount Ner. The descent is very steep at first, then becomes easier until you reach the gravel track.
(6) Turn right onto the track that leads directly to the car park at the bend (S/E).
