The Forêt des Coulmes offers an endless variety of route combinations. This circular loop takes you to visit the Grotte des Bœufs, then leaves the beaten track to follow the edge of the state-owned forest until climbing off-trail onto the Serre Coton ridge, before descending back to Les Croisettes and continuing along a well-marked path to Patente and the orientation table overlooking Malleval, before returning to Le Faz.
