Start from the Mont Sinaï car park, located on the right at the top of the hill leading from Verzy towards Louvois (D34).
(S/E) At the far end of the car park, take the path through the woods on the right and join the main stony path, the Route Forestière Brise-Charette.
(1) Take the path opposite to go to the Mont Sinaï Observatory, pass in front of the bunkers and then return to the main path to continue the walk.
(2) Return to the Route Forestière Brise-Charette. Turn right onto it and follow it for just under 500 m until you reach a junction.
(3) Take the path on the left (where the barrier is) and follow it for just under 200 m, until you reach a large, wide path.
(4) Cross it diagonally to the right to find a fairly wide path heading north-west that leads into the undergrowth.
(From here, some paths may be muddy in wet weather, but it is always possible, without straying far from the route, to walk along the sides to avoid the particularly slippery sections).
Follow this path for 500 m, passing a water intake for the village below on your left. Continue for another 500 m until you reach a cross path.
(5) Turn left, heading due south, and follow this path for about 800 m until you come out onto the lovely Chemin de la Serre, a stony track, which you take to the left for about 450 m until you reach a fork.
(6) Leave the Chemin de la Serre and take the path on the right heading south-south-west for about 800 m before turning left towards the south-east for just under 400 m towards the Route Forestière des Batis.
(7) Just before this forest road, take the path branching off to the right towards the south, descending for about 700 m to a stream bed. Cross it, then continue along this path, which turns south-west for just under 200 m.
(8) Turn sharply left towards the south-east onto a track and you will come to a car park and the D34 road which runs from Verzy to Louvois.
(9) Cross it and take the Route Forestière du Grippet opposite, which you will follow for about 2.5 km until you reach the Route Forestière des Faux at a junction.
(10) Turn left onto this forest road and continue for about 800 m until you reach a fork.
(11) Turn right, join the Promenade des Faux, and follow it.
(You can also do this as a circular route if it’s your first time exploring this natural attraction).
(12) At the end of the Promenade des Faux, follow the Les Faux road, which leads to the Faux de Verzy car park, then continue until you return to the D34. Head slightly left along it, then cross over to reach the Mont Sinaï car park (S/E).
