Parking at the exit of Winkel towards the La Charrière plateau, next to the information boards on the Source de l'Ill and the Sentier des Marocains. See practical information.
(S/E) Take the road, which is closed in winter, and follow the red and blue ring markings uphill.
After a few hundred metres, you can take a path on the left that overlooks the road and passes close to the shelters on the Sentier des Marocains.
(1) At the Charrière car park, turn left onto the wide path going uphill and follow the Yellow Ring markings. Continue along the Allée des Hêtres.
(2) At the Col de Neuneich, cross the picnic area on the right and take the "Schluraff" path towards Hornihof and Blochmont (red signposts). After a few dozen metres, at the Y-junction, turn right (note that both directions have the same signposts). At the edge of the forest, you will come to a crossroads. See practical information.
(3) Continue straight ahead towards the Hornihof farm. Before the farm, you will see herds of llamas grazing in the pastures to the right or left of the main path. This farm also has a dog breeding facility (Asian shepherd dogs). See practical information.
(4) At the farm buildings, continue straight ahead downhill. At the next crossroads, pass above the Stteinerhof farm and stay on the main path. The path leaves the forest and reaches a crossroads on the way downhill.
(5) Allow the path to join the road and climb up to the left on the Chevalet Rouge marked path, which overlooks the hamlet of Blochmont.
(6) Continue straight ahead, following the path uphill to the next crossroads.
(7) Turn left, at a 90° angle, onto the marked trail (Chevalet Rouge) which climbs steeply (the only difficult part of the day, but only for a short distance) to reach the ridges of the Glaserberg massif.
(8) Continue straight ahead along the meadows to reach the Signal du Glaserberg, where you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Swiss Jura Mountains.
(9) Then continue to the nearby crossroads.
(10) Enter the forest and continue straight ahead along the ridge.
(2) At the terrace behind the Col de Neuneich shelter, there is a magnificent view to the north. Then follow the marked path northwards and then westwards, marked with a yellow ring.
(11) When you reach a fork in the road, take the left-hand path marked with a yellow ring towards the summit of Glasserberg.
(12) At the summit, unfortunately, the view is limited due to the growth of trees. Continue straight ahead.
(1) Back at La Charrièrer, cross the car park, head north and follow the red ring markings.
(13) At the edge of the forest, before a left turn, leave the path and take the trail on the right that descends into the forest (Red Ring markings). After a left turn and then a right turn, you will arrive at a crossroads.
(14) Take the path on the right (marked with a blue ring) which leads back towards Winkel and follow the meadow where the source of the Ill has been channelled to return to the car park where you started (S/E).
