Park at the Croix du Fau (car park by the roadside)
(S/E) Follow the road signposted "Le Mont Mouchet" for a few metres and immediately turn onto a wide track on the left. Ignore the successive tracks on the left and then on the right.
(1) When you reach a large crossroads, continue straight ahead on a small path that climbs steadily, initially running alongside a pasture on your right and then entering the deciduous forest. It joins the Mont Mouchet road access.
(2) Cross the D123 with caution. Turn right for a few metres, then take the track on the left which enters the thick spruce forest. Ignore the track on the right at the corner of the meadow and continue straight ahead to the next crossroads where a large rock marks the boundary between the three departments of Lozère, Cantal and Haute-Loire.
(3) Continue on the track on the right, which leads to a long, steady climb to the highest point of Mont Mouchet.
(4) Opposite the orientation table, turn right onto the GRP®. After a long descent through the woods and then along the edge of the forest, you will reach a wide track.
(5) Continue to the left and reach the hamlet of Auzenc, ignoring the paths on either side that lead into the forest.
(6) Cross the hamlet. At the cross, take the track that runs alongside a building on your left and leads to the D123 further on.
(7) Cross the road carefully, walk a few dozen metres to the left, then continue on the track that starts on the right and takes you back to the large crossroads where you started.
(1) Turn left and retrace your steps to reach the Croix du Fau (S/E).
