Access from Saint-Nazaire-le-Désert via the D135 to Volvent. Park in the small car park at Col de Vache just after the village.
(S/E) From the pass, follow the Chemin de la Servelle pastoral trail (second turn on the left coming from Volvent) following theGRP® Tour de la Vallée de la Roanne.
(1) At the crossroads, marked Longe Fond, continue left on the main track. You will reach the first lavender field.
(2) Leave the grassy path on your right and continue along the fields. Reach the fifth field at Plateau à Champ Rabi.
(3) At the signpost, take the grassy path on the left towards La Servelle via the GRP® variant. At the field, turn left and continue along the faint path.
(4) At Col du Pin, begin the final, steeper section towards the summit, following a fence.
(5) At the summit of La Servelle, cross the fence and descend parallel to the right, following the north ridge (no clearly visible path).
After leaving the ridges, at the flat section marked with a stake, turn right and descend towards a second stake. Cross the mountain pasture following the marked stakes and reach a fence. Follow it eastwards and, at a marked rock, turn left towards the north and descend. Reach a track at La Berche.
(6) Descend this track to the Bouscarome crossroads (marker).
(7) Continue to the right.
(8) At the Bergerie du Serre de l'Église, at the marker, take the track on the right towards Volvent.
(9) At the Blache crossroads, signpost and resistance monument, turn right towards the south, in the direction of Champ Rabi. Join the route taken on the way out.
(3) Continue to the last field at the start of a grassy path on the left.
(2) Leave the track and follow the grassy path down to the left towards Combe Chaude. Pass by a cattle enclosure, then the path continues between two fences and becomes stony, clinging to the slope of the Combe. Join the track at the Longe Fond marker.
(1) Follow it downhill to Col de Vache (S/E).
