Go to La Roche-des-Arnauds and park in the car park at the entrance to the village near the bridge over the Petit Buëch. The first part of the hike consists of climbing up to Corréo from the village.
(S/E) Cross the bridge over the Petit Buëch and turn left onto the small road to Corréo (D513). After about 100 metres (signpost 544), turn left onto the Chemin des Gaudis.
After an initial climb, cross the D513 and continue straight ahead to rejoin it shortly afterwards. Continue for about 20 metres on the right, then leave the road and turn left onto the Traverse de Beauregard, which runs parallel to the road and rejoins it again. Follow the road to the left for about 50 metres.
(1) Near a garage, turn left onto Chemin de Pommeret. After a few bends, pass some houses on your right and, at the start of a left-hand bend, continue straight ahead on a track. You are now in the middle of cultivated fields and the landscape is unobstructed. Beautiful view of the mountains: Ceüze on the right, Pic de Gleize on the left, Charance mountain in front, and Tête de Clappe and Pic de Bure on the left.
(2) At the fork, keep left and join the D513 (multidirectional signpost).
(3) Turn left, pass in front of the Haute-Corréo school (headquarters of the Copernic association) and arrive at a crossroads. Leave the D513, which continues to the right, and turn left onto Chemin de Haute-Corréo.
Now cross the hamlet with its typical houses. Continue along the path, which becomes Chemin de la Davine and then Chemin des Évêques. Leave the access road to the hamlet on your right (dead end sign) and pass the Corréo cross.
(4) Just after this, take a path on the right which then heads north-west and descends into the forest. The descent continues and a sign warning of a "difficult passage" (mountain bikes) alerts you to a wet, stony area. Continue to a junction where you join theGR®94(multi-directional signpost 540).
(5) Turn left towards La Roche. The path is stony and leads to the banks of the Petit Buëch. Then follow the riverbank along a path to reach the footbridge.
(6) The footbridge is very unusual. Wooden discs have been placed on two cables, and planks have been nailed on top. A third cable serves as a handrail.
Signs warn: "Use of the footbridge is at your own risk" and "No crossing during high water" and "Cross one at a time".
Once you reach the right bank, turn left and keep left just after to follow the track parallel to the Petit Buëch, which joins a paved road coming from L'Ermitage.
(7) Now follow the small road that takes you back to La Roche des Arnauds. The Rue Sous le Barri will take you to the centre of the village.
Pass the post office and town hall, then at the bridge over the Épervier torrent, take the dyke on the left which leads directly back to the car park where you started (S/E).
