Parking in Crosey-le-Petit, at the motorhome area, opposite the last house on Rue Begein. Good quality yellow and blue markings and signs.
(S/E) Walk up Rue Begein towards the village, then turn right onto Rue des Vergerots, passing in front of the church, and turn right again onto the D19 E for 300 metres. At the end of the village, follow the small tarmac road (Rue de Clerval) to the left and, at the first fork, continue straight ahead.
(1) You will reach the D27, which you follow to the right for about 50 metres. Look for a yellow and blue cross on the right-hand side of the road and take the path that leads into the woods on the right to cut across the bend. You will come back to the main road, which you should cross, continuing along the beautiful forest path opposite. Before a small clearing (yellow and blue cross), look carefully and take the path on the right, which quickly cuts across a wider path. Continue straight ahead.
(2) You will reach a small tarmac road at a hairpin bend and continue climbing to the left.
(3) About 1.5 km further on, when the road widens for about 30 metres, you will see a small road on the right that leads to the Sainte-Anne Chapel, a viewpoint overlooking Crosey-le-Grand and the entire plateau to the south. There is a picnic table where you can stop for a snack. Set off again along the path on the right (when facing the chapel).
(4) It joins a small gravel road which you follow to the left for about 30 metres until you see the Lomont wind turbines on your right. Retrace your steps.
(4) Head towards Crosey-le-Grand.
(5) At the entrance to the village, at a triangular junction, turn right (despite the cross) onto the gravel path that leads to the presbytery and the church. Enter the parish enclosure, walk around the building and return to the triangular junction. Turn right onto the D404 towards Chazot. At another triangular junction, turn right onto Rue Bataillot.
(6) At the corner of the school, at a multiple crossroads, continue along the middle path (towards Rue de la Forêt), passing in front of a football pitch. At the last house in the village, turn right. After the sawmill, the path becomes stony and runs alongside a charming long meadow.
(7) When the road ends, climb up to the right into the woods via the stony path. At the meadow, turn right onto the stony path and then left onto the small tarmac road until you reach the Montnoirotte equestrian centre.
(8) Turn left onto the D27 for 400 metres, then right onto the stony path that leads back into the forest. You will come to another stony road at a right angle, which you take to the right.
(9) At the meadow, turn right, follow the edge of the forest for about 50 metres and, at the signpost, cross the field towards the opposite edge of the forest and a signpost that is not very visible on a tree (one of the tallest). Turn left, following this edge of the forest until you reach the small tarmac road. Continue to the right until you reach the car park (S/E).
