Departure from the Fond d'Alagnon car park.
(S/E) From the car park, take the road heading east towards the D67 road (do not join it). Turn left just before the building with numerous shops.
(1) Take the path on the left and follow the signs for Téton de Vénus. Continue to the next crossroads.
(2) Turn immediately right onto a wide path. After about 200 m, turn left onto the path.
(3) At the crossroads, turn left onto a fairly steep path. When you leave the woods, continue for another 300 m to reach the summit of Bec de l'Aigle.
(4) Turn left and follow the GR® 400 westwards.
(5) At the gate, turn right and leave the GR® 400 to reach the Téton de Vénus. At the summit, turn left onto the path that descends towards the GR® 400, then turn right towards the west.
(6) Cross the Alagnon (near its source). After about 200 m, ignore the path on your left.
(7) At the crossroads, turn left onto the path and continue on the GR® 400 and GR® 4 southwards.
(8) After about 500 m, near the Rombière chairlift, turn right and continue on the GR® 400, ignoring the two paths on your left.
(9) At the foot of Puy Griou, head towards the summit for a round trip.
The ascent and descent are quite technical and not suitable for people prone to vertigo, so this part of the hike can be omitted.
(9) On your return, continue on the GR® 400, going around Puy Griou to the west towards Col du Perthus.
(10) Keep left on the GR® 400 towards the Col de Font de Cère.
(11) Turn left onto the path towards Col de Font de Cère and leave the GR® 400.
After about 400 m, pass a path on your left. Continue along the path, passing the Vacherie du Griou on your left. After a few metres, go straight ahead onto a trail, join a wide path and continue to the left.
(12) Go straight ahead on a wide path towards "Retour parking". Continue on the main path, ignoring the paths on the left and right.
(13) After a little over 3 km, you will reach a tarmac road that runs alongside a car park, then turn left onto a larger road. After a few metres, at the Hôtel-Restaurant le Buron de Font de Cère, turn slightly left onto a path, do not take the GR® 4 and GR® 400.
(14) At the intersection, continue straight ahead and cross the GR® 4 and GR® 400. At the edge of the woods, continue along the path and reach the lower station of the La Rombière chairlift. Continue along the path on the right to reach the car park (S/E).
