(3) Turn left, then follow the D 983 road to reach the car park (S/E) below.
A superb hike to do alone or with the family. There are no particular technical difficulties, the elevation gain is fairly gentle, and I think the level mentioned in the description should be classified as easy rather than moderate. It can be done as a pleasant walk, but you will need good walking shoes. Beautiful scenery. Please note that even though the elevation gain is reasonable, the hike will take a long time for those who are not used to long walks, as well as for young children. The directions are good and the app is easy to follow. Around Lake Servières, there are nice tables and benches for picnics. The return journey is along a track that is almost like a gravel road. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend it.
