Start at the hamlet of Les Daurens (towards the Col d’Ornon), after Le Périer when coming from Entraigues. Park along the road as you reach the hamlet of Les Daurens.
(S/E) Cross the hamlet, heading uphill to the right to join a forest track. This heads due south and crosses a magnificent beech forest (altitude approx. 1,200 m).
(1) The track narrows and changes direction, heading north-east and then east. Ignore a path on the left and continue to the peatlands.
(2) This section requires care, especially on wet ground. Head into the forest.
(3) The difficult sections are now over. Head for the Col du Touret (signpost).
(4) Turn right towards Le Touret and its magnificent viewpoint. Another short tricky section if the ground is wet.
(5) Retrace your steps back to the pass.
(4) Take the faintly marked path on the right. Descend gently to the Issart junction (altitude 1240m).
(6) Turn right. The descent continues without difficulty to the village of Le Périer, passing close to a sawmill. At the junction, turn right to join the D526.
(7) Turn right again, following the Malsanne. After 2.5 km on tarmac, reach the car park (S/E).
