The start is from La Rente on the D209 between Le Sauze and Le Super Sauze. Park in one of the car parks along the road.
Yellow markings.
(S/E) At the foot of the restaurant "Les Deux Mazots", take the path on the left that runs perpendicular to the road. Continue slightly uphill to reach the stream valley after the Source de la Soudane.
(1) Heading north then east, you will reach the Alp chairlift, passing a hut and a fountain.
(2) The path then splits in two. Take the left fork, passing between the mountain restaurant and the Dôme ski lift departure point. Continue along the path, passing under the Bergerie de l'Alpe. Shortly afterwards, the path makes a sharp right turn. Take the path that continues straight ahead to reach the Bergerie de l'Alpe.
(3) Continue along the path, climbing steadily to reach Col Bas.
(4) Take the marked path on the left and follow the ridge towards the summit at 2,605 metres.
(5) As you approach the summit, the markings become difficult to read and the passage itself is technical. It is useful here to use your hands to help you through this passage. Continue along the ridge and through a small valley towards the Croix de l'Alpe.
(6) The return journey is via the same route to the car park where you started (S/E).
