The hike starts from the Eylac stopover lodge (signposted), between Col de Serre and Pas de Peyrol on the D680.
There are two car parks where you can leave your car.
(S/E) From the car park, cross the Eylac lodge and climb over a stile to cross the meadow downhill. Descend to the right, following the small path through the meadow.
(1) Cross another footbridge to leave the meadow and enter the beech forest on your right. From there, follow the wide path for a long time, going downhill. You will come across several streams and many alpine plants along the way.
(2) Pass a waterfall on your left. Shortly afterwards, you will come to a fork where you should follow the path on the left, which begins the climb to the ridge.
(3) At this junction, do not follow the path to the right towards Lapeyre, but take a small stony and grassy path that descends almost opposite. Further down, turn left and rejoin theGR®400(white and red markings), which you will follow until the end of the walk. You will reach a new crossroads at a place called Bragouse.
(4) Turn left and follow the path, which winds its way up, sometimes quite steeply. Go through a fence and out of the woods. You will reach the side of the ridge. Climb up through the meadows to reach the ridge.
(5) Once at the top, follow theGR®400, heading south, marked in red and white. Cross a fence and then follow it on the left towards Puy Mary. Pass just below Puy de la Tourte, going around it on the right.
(6) Just before reaching Pas de Peyrol and the Puy Mary tourist site (restaurant, information, souvenirs), take the path on the left that runs alongside the road through the meadows. Follow the road downhill until you return to Buron d'Eylac (S/E).
