District:
Park in the large car park on the right-hand side of the road, about 1.5 km after the Gorges du Cians.
(S/E) Follow the road downhill to marker no. 69.
(1) At the marker, turn left towards the Ruines de Giarons and the Abbé to cross the Cians. Climb up the other side of the stream via the yellow-marked trail.
This section climbs quite steeply through the woods with a series of small hairpin bends that are not visible on the map.
At the edge of the woods, you will pass a watering hole and a sheepfold, then the trail climbs up the left side to reach the ruins of Giarons and a small oratory facing Mont-Mounier at marker no. 74.
(2) At the oratory, take the marked trail that climbs immediately to the right at the edge of the woods.
Follow the main marked trail, taking care not to get lost in the tracks left by flocks of sheep. The pass between Tête de Giarons and Tête de Pérail is to the south-southwest.
Pass the first signpost indicating the aforementioned peaks and descend to a second one just below.
(3) Climb straight up towards Les Cluots along the well-marked path. After a long bend to the left, you will reach a pass just before a sheepfold. Turn right to join the tracks of a track before heading due west to reach the summit.
(4) To the north, you can see a large part of the Mercantour with the Haut-Var peaks on the left, Mont-Mounier in the centre and the Vésubie peaks on the right.
Turn back.
(3) Turn right onto the track that climbs gently towards the Baisse de Clari.
The path begins to descend, then becomes quite hilly at a surprising depression on your left. At the next intersection, turn right to reach Baisse de Clari.
(5) Take the left-hand path along the ledge towards Beuil.
(6) At marker no. 62, turn left again to begin the descent towards Le Pommier. The path is barely marked and follows a west-northwest direction. A few wooden posts help you find your way until you enter the forest.
Then follow the yellow-marked path that winds down to Le Pommier (markers 61a and 61b).
(7) Continue straight down the steep descent towards Pré de Chaudi.
(8) At marker 61c, turn right. The descent is gentler and joins a track. Follow this track, ignoring the path that climbs to the left, to reach the banks of the Cians.
Ford the river and climb up the track that leads to the car park and the starting point (S/E).
