Park in the car park on the right in the hairpin bend about 400 m after the town hall and the public school on the D279.
(S/E) Cross the D279 to take Rue des Ormeaux opposite, then turn left onto Rue du Temple. At the next crossroads, follow Rue du Moutat opposite, leaving Chemin des Huguenots on your right and continuing straight ahead until you reach the start of the path on the left markedGR® 42 (white and red markings).
(1) Turn left, then immediately right to follow theGR® 42 for about 2 km towards Col des Ayes. You will come to a road.
(2) Do not follow it, but continue on the path on the right parallel to the road, leaving theGR® to join the D479 below the Col des Ayes.
(3) Descend to the right for a few metres and immediately take a path ascending the embankment on the left. Follow it for about 1 km. It winds gently through the woods. Pass under the property of a car wreck recycler and keep to the path on the left, continuing downhill until you cross the Ruisseau des Ayes.
(4) Cross the stream and turn left to follow it parallel to the path, continuing downhill until you reach the D479.
(5) Follow it to the right for about 400 metres until you reach theGR® 42 (white and red markings).
(6) Leave the road, turn left and follow this marked path which climbs gently towards the Col des Ayes.
(7) About 50 metres before the pass, take the small road on the right. Keep left at the three-way junction and follow the tarmac road known as Chemin de Chalamand, passing close to (2). You will arrive at a large plateau above the Lodge de Chalamant. Follow the track on the left up to a large wood storage area.
(8) Turn right onto the path with a no entry sign: this is not for us but for the land behind the sign. The path becomes a steeply descending trail, be careful as there are lots of stones. Very nice view to the east and west. Join Rue du Moutat.
(1) Take the same path downhill as you took on the way up to return to the car park (S/E).
