Park in the silo car park, near the Auberge des Dauphins.
Yellow markings to the ‘virage de l’ane’
(S/E) From the car park, walk alongside the Atlas cedars, past the Auberge des Dauphins, to reach the eco-guards’ office.
Continue straight on to reach the Chemin de la Grande Combe, which climbs gently through the forest at the bottom of the valley.
(1) At the “Les Douglas” signpost, the path narrows as it climbs more steeply. On the right, a wooden guardrail marks an old stone dam. Continue through the valley along the riverbed until you reach a forest track at the Virage du Pré de l’Âne, where you leave the forest and enter the mountain pastures.
(2) Continue climbing at the bottom of the valley to reach the Pas de Siara, which offers a magnificent view of the Col de la Chaudière.
(3) Turn left onto the clearly marked path that climbs to the Veyou.
(4) At the edge of the forest, turn right and reach the summit of Le Veyou. The view opens up to the east and north.
(5) Return to the previous fork at the edge of the woods.
(4) Head right through the undergrowth towards Le Signal.
(6) At the fork, turn left, passing beneath the Signal along a clearly visible path to avoid a short climb. Ignore the path on the right which descends from the Signal and reach the Pas de la Picourère.
(7) Continue towards Roche Courbe, then ignore the path climbing up to the right and continue along the hillside.
(8) Ignore the path on the right and continue straight ahead. Enter the woodland, pass the Col des Auberts and, at the next fork, turn right to quickly reach the Rocher de la Laveuse.
(9) Continue along the path (GR®®), pass the Pas des Auberts and reach the Pas de la Motte through a sparse forest.
(10) Leave theGR®® and turn left to head deeper into the forest and descend to the forest track suitable for vehicles. This descent is steep and can be slippery (dead leaves, small stones).
(11) Continue along this track to the right and descend gently through the forest. Follow it for about 4 km until you see the sign on the left indicating the Auberge des Dauphins.
(12) Follow the path to the left and descend to the inn via the well-marked, easy path, then head to the car park (S/E).
