Access:
- Coming from Lauzet-Ubaye, cross the village of La Fresquière and turn right (D27) onto the road that descends and crosses the Ubaye towards Méolans.
- Coming from Barcelonnette, turn left (D27) before the bridge and the village of La Fresquière.
At the entrance to the village of Méolans, turn left towards Gaudeissard / Les Besses / Sculpteur. In Gaudeissard, turn left (Les Besses/ sculpteur/ ânes) at the sharp bend and follow this road to the altitude of 1523m (Fme on IGN).
Park on the left after the houses (two or three spaces in winter) or continue to Les Besses in summer.
(S/E) Continue along the path (south-east), past Les Besses and on to the two water reservoirs.
(1) Leave theGR® on your left and take the flat path opposite, heading south. Keep going in this direction until you reach the stream, cross it and follow the winding path to the clearing.
(2) Ignore the path that branches off to the left of the clearing and follow the track to the right (west) until you reach the next intersection.
(3) Take the track on the left that climbs uphill and follow it until you reach the large clearing (near point 1818m).
(4) From there, climb left (south); the path becomes steep for a short distance. You will then come out onto the Roche Bénite mountain pasture. Climb up this beautiful meadow, heading west towards the top to reach an altitude of 2051m.
(5) From there, turn left and follow the ridge south to reach the summit of Le Pinet.
(6) Return to the car park (S/E) by following the same route you took on the way up.
