Park in the Malvaux car park at the beginning of Rue de la Papeterie.
Blue Disc Markings
(S/E) From the car park, take the Chemin de la Goutte Thierry on the right, which runs below the Chemin Marcel Tassion. It passes in front of a former holiday camp. Just after this, the path climbs to the right into a fir forest before joining a forest road.
(1) Cross the road, then walk up alongside the Goutte du Bon Pommier stream and follow the winding path back to the forest road.
(2) Follow the road to the left for 200 metres, then leave it and climb up to the right to the Plateau de la Grange.
(3) Cross a farm track. When you reach a refuge chalet, take a good path on the left to La Gentiane (downhill ski run).
(4) Walk along the car park, past the gendarmerie building and the Refuge des Amis de la Nature.
Cross the D466 and take the path above it. Walk along the road on your left.
(5) Pass at the foot of the Tête des Redoutes ski lift. Continue along the path that runs alongside the departmental road.
(6) When you reach La Chaumière, cross the D465 and take the path that descends rapidly before turning right.
(7) Cross Chemin Boigeol and continue downhill to Étang du Petit-Haut.
(8) Walk along the dyke and turn left onto the path that runs alongside the Savoureuse river via the waterfall trail. At the crossroads, continue straight ahead.
(9) When you reach Saut de la Truite, cross the D465, go around the car park, then walk down
along the river on a stony path, then a tarmac road. It runs alongside an old weaving mill and takes you back to the car park where you started (S/E).
We had a lovely hike, starting with the waterfalls and returning via the gently sloping path.
