Access: At the entrance to the village of Prunières, take a small road on the right towards the village hall, the school and the town hall. Park in the small car park.
(S/E) Leave the car park, head towards the school and then the community hall, passing in front of this building. When you reach a path, take it uphill to the right, join a small tarmac road, walk a few metres to the left and take another path uphill to the right. Leave the path leading to Simane on your right. Continue through the forest until you reach the junction with the track leading to the hamlet of Reberton.
(1) Ignore the paths to the right and left and continue along the track straight ahead, following the yellow markings. Alternate between clearings and woodland to reach the inverted Y-junction at Champ Morand.
(2) Leave the yellow-marked route, turn sharply left and continue along a very wide track. At the next junction, stay on the track on the right and continue slightly downhill until you reach another junction at a bend.
(3) Leave the track here and turn onto the path on the right. Pass under a power line, continue uphill to reach the Écurie Bernard junction, where you’ll find hiking signposts.
(4) Stay on the path straight ahead, making a wide circular loop to the right then left along the edge of the woodland. Make another circular loop to the left to reach the Serre de Chat Pendu junction.
(5) Turn right and, after a few steps, you’ll reach the summit.
Return to the previous crossroads and turn right to begin the descent, following a path that is sometimes barely visible as you follow the ridge. In a clearing, join a well-marked path.
Turn left onto it and you’ll soon come to a wider track.
(6) Turn right onto it and walk through the forest. After a hairpin bend to the left, you’ll reach the multi-way junction at Combéron.
(7) Look out for a path on the left leading down through the woods, cutting across a large bend in the track. Take this path, rejoin the track and follow it to the left. You’ll reach the remains of a building at a place called Écuries Templier, where there are hiking signposts.
(8) Leave the track here and turn right onto the path leading down towards Prunières. Pass under a power line once more. After a bend of almost 180°, you’ll reach the hamlet of Les Rioux at the entrance to Prunières.
(9) Turn right onto Rue de la Montée des Rioux and cross the industrial estate. Turn left onto Rue des Ouches, continue straight on, and cross Prunières to easily find the car park at the Place de la Mairie-École (S/E).
