Description of the walk

Parking is available at the start or end of the path (before the fence) after leaving the road.

The first section is a direct, straight climb along a pasture to reach Le Crohaun. May be muddy. This section can be done as a return trip if you do not wish to complete a circular route.

The return path is to the left of the telecommunications tower on the way down (fence crossing).

The second section involves descending the hillside, which also offers some lovely views. The final section, through the forest, is a little less interesting.
