Park at the entrance to Névache in the large shuttle bus car park.
(S/E) Cross the road and enter the campsite. Continue to the Pont Sergent Jean Tane. Cross the Clarée via this bridge and continue through the forest, ascending very slightly. Join theGR®57, turn right to reach the Pont de Fortville. Cross the Clarée again and turn left until you reach the next junction.
(1) Cross the road and take the Impasse du Cros opposite. Start by climbing the tarmac road; at the last houses, you’ll come to a wide stony track. Continue north on this track and, after a short but steep climb, join the cross-country path.
(2) Turn right onto it, following the sign for Les Thures. Navigate two or three tight hairpin bends to cross the Combe de la Ruine. You will then enter the forest and, via a splendid, almost level path, reach the junction with the Creux des Souches path.
(3) Carry on straight ahead, leaving the Creux des Souches path on your right (which is, incidentally, in poor condition), and begin a very gentle descent that ends at the banks of the Torrent de Lichos. Cross it to reach the Cabane Forestière.
(4) Turn right, following the red and white markings ofthe GR®57. Continue along the wide track until you reach the barrier blocking access to unauthorised vehicles.
(5) Stay on theGR® or take one of the many shortcuts, all of which lead to the car park at the start of the route, which comes into view quickly (S/E).
