Park at Le Désert in the large car park of the cross-country ski centre.
(S/E) Ignore the beautiful track heading north and descend towards the stream valley. Cross the Ruisseau de la Chaume stream via the track.
(1) Immediately, leave the path on the right and follow another path that runs alongside the river. Arrive at Les Marots.
(2) Take the barely marked path on the left to walk as close as possible to the river and join a more clearly marked path.
(3) Follow it, continuing to the right, and cross the river via a bridge to rejoin the track.
(4) Continue climbing to the right along the track and reach an intersection 100 metres before the Col du Mollard.
(5) Turn left onto the path, which soon becomes a very steep and winding trail, to cross the cliff. As you climb, cross a fence and emerge onto the plateau to reach the Outherand hut.
(6) Leave the marked trail to the right towards Col du Planet and follow the trail that crosses the plateau from north to south. In the absence of specific landmarks, follow the yellow markings and after a long traverse you will reach the wooden cross.
(7) Return via the same route until you reach the intersection near the bridge.
(4) Continue straight ahead, simply following the track, and return to the car park (S/E).
