From Chevelu, head towards the Col du Chat. After just under 2 km, turn right onto the Chemin de la Source.
Ride to the end of the road. When you reach the houses, take the path on the left which leads to a designated car park.
(S/E) Take the yellow-marked path which climbs towards the Dent du Chat. Follow it to the sign for “Vacherie de Champrovent”.
(1) Ignore the return path ahead and continue left towards the Col de la Vacherie.
(2) At the pass, turn right and continue climbing until you reach a four-way junction.
(3) Turn left, towards the summit of the Dent du Chat. The route is exposed but very well secured with cables and modern ladders.
(4) At the top, the view is magnificent; enjoy it, then head back down to the four-way junction.
(3) Head towards Molard Noir, which lies opposite. Two information boards await you at the summit. The view is once again incredible.
(5) Then head towards the Relais. Follow the ridge path. After about 1 km, past the mast, the descent begins; you’ll find the paragliding launch site, as well as the Relais des Aigles. Walk to the restaurant on the D42.
(6) Go down the steps on the right, alongside the restaurant. Head right for a few dozen metres along the road, then, after the left-hand bend, take the path on the right towards the western orientation table, which you’ll find when you reach the viewpoint, at the left-hand bend of the D42.
(7) Enjoy the view, then follow the road down towards St-Paul. Walk carefully along the D42 for over 1 km, ignoring the paths branching off to the left. You will then see, on your right, a sign pointing towards St-Jean de Chevelu.
(8) Climb over the parapet and head down the path, due north. After 400 m, you’ll reach a forest track. Turn right and keep going in that direction until the end of the track.
(9) The path is barely visible. Continue north-north-east, then north. After about 500 m, you’ll reach another forest track.
(10) Follow it to the right, go round a hairpin bend to the left, then another to the right. After the next hairpin bend to the left, walk for about 80 m; you’ll see a hut below on your right. Walk past it and take the path leading up to it.
(11) Walk past the hut. The path is barely visible at first, but then widens. Follow it to the junction with the sign for La Vacherie de Champrovent, which you passed on the way up.
(1) From there, follow the route you took on the way up in the opposite direction, continuing downhill to the car park (S/E).
