The hike starts from the Luminy School of Architecture in the southern suburbs of Marseille, where there are plenty of parking spaces available.
(S/E) Head south towards the discovery trail and follow it straight ahead.
(1) Look for the path on the left, which you will take on the way back, and continue to the Col de Sugiton.
(2) At the pass, follow the track opposite towards the east and continue on it, leaving the descending track on your right.
(3) Take the path (GR® 51-98) on the left for about 300 metres.
(4) Turn left and continue to follow theGR®. This is the start of the first climb. There is no risk of getting lost. After about 1700 m, you will arrive at Col de la Candelle, but not before enjoying the many views along the way.
(5) Admire the view once again, then head back up the path towards the north for 150 metres.
(6) Descend the path on the right and go around the Vallon de la Candelle. Continue for about 800 metres to elevation 372.
(7) Leave theGR® trail, which continues towards the Devenson cliffs. Climb up to the left at this point and follow the yellow and green markings that wind along the ramp.
(8) Turn left and continue to follow the yellow, green and red markings. Pass through a small gorge and emerge on the other side of the hill. You will find some steps. Follow the path, which becomes less and less steep, and emerges onto the Cap Gros plateau. There are beautiful views of the entire region on both sides. A surprising well at this height marks the summit of Cap Gros. Continue for 800 m.
(9) Turn left and head towards the heights of Mont Puget, clearly visible in the distance, ignoring the paths that branch off to the right and left. Keep to the left to begin the short climb up the first promontory and then Mont Puget itself. Enjoy the view. Finish at the cross by following the ridge.
(10) Carefully descend the rocks and return to the Frager trail. Continue on the left until you reach a large cairn that marks the start of the descent of Sillon Guillemin, dominated by the peak of the same name.
(11) Turn left. Watch your step, as some sections are relatively tricky but nothing impossible.
(12) Turn left at the end of the path and follow the track for 2 km downhill to reach a crossroads.
(13) Look for the start of a path opposite and follow it until you reach a track on the left. When you reach a crossroads, turn right, heading west, to rejoin the discovery trail you took on the way there.
(1) Turn right and you will reach the car park after about a kilometre (S/E).
