The hike starts from the Fabrègue Haute car park. To get there, take the D908 (road from Bédarieux to Saint-Pons de Thomières) towards Olargues. Coming from Bédarieux, at Olargues, 400 m after the Eiffel Bridge, take the road on the right towards Auziale (D14E). Coming from Saint-Pons, at Olargues, continue on the D908 until the second entrance to the village. Leave it on your right and take the first road on the left about 50 metres further on, towards Auziale (D14E). Follow the D908 for approximately 1.7 km, until you reach the Fabrègue Haute junction. Then follow the road to the right; the car park is in the bend at the end of the cul-de-sac.
(S/E) Return to the access road until you reach the D14E. At the crossroads, turn right and follow the departmental road for about 100 m.
(1) Take the path on the left to reach the hamlet of Le Cros. Continue to the path that climbs to the right.
(2) Follow this path for a few dozen metres, then take the path climbing to the left and continue to the access road to the drystone shelter.
(3) Turn right and ignore the access to the house by taking the hairpin bend. The road becomes a track. Continue along this, negotiate the hairpin bend to the right and proceed for about 400 m to reach a cairn on the left.
(4) Turn left onto the path marked by cairns and follow it to the Col du Griffoulas.
(5) Follow the path which climbs northwards. This path is marked with blue dots as far as the Col d’Ourliades. This section of the hike is technical and is suitable for experienced hikers in good physical condition.
(6) Turn left, then quickly turn right onto the track heading north-east. At the next junction, take the sharp left turn to reach the Col du Montahut.
(7) To the right, in the forest, there is a low stone wall. This is the start of the path leading up to Montahut. Follow the GPS track closely as this path is sometimes poorly marked on the ground. Make your way to the summit of Montahut.
(8) Head back down the path that heads west and then turns left. Once you reach theGR®, turn right and continue to the first path junction.
(9) Turn left to follow this path down to near the Col d'Ourliades. At the junction, take the path heading left (east) and follow it through a series of hairpin bends until you reach a track at a large concrete slab.
(10) Take the track to the left, heading south-east, to the hamlet of Auziale.
(11) Follow the concrete path down to the right, marked in yellow (PR®). Turn right again onto the road in the hamlet, keeping to thePR® markings. At the large bend, ignore the track heading straight ahead and stay on the concrete road. Continue to follow the yellow markings until they cross the D14E.
(12) Cross the road and take the paved slanting street leading down (PR®) for about 350 m to reach a crossroads marked by a cairn.
(13) Take the path on the right, leaving thePR®, and follow it to Fabrègue Haute. Cross the hamlet and follow the short stretch of road leading to the car park (S/E).
