Start : Top of Ceillac village, above the small children's ski slope (near the ice rink).
(S/E) Take the streets to the West that lead up to the new Ceillac and reach the GR® 58.
(1) Don't take it, but go straight ahead, cross the torrent and follow the yellow-marked Aiguillettes path. Ignore the Via Ferrata paths on your left. Descend slightly to join the GR® 58.
(2) Turn left along the new GR® route, marked in red and white, to reach the Col de Bramousse.
(3) Head South-West along the path around the scree to climb up off-track into the Montagne de Riou Vert. Reach an unnamed pass marked on the map at 2264.
As an option, you can follow a path to the West (a return journey), which takes you level with some beautiful combes.
(4) Continue to the other side via a downhill path in the forest that joins the GR®.
(5) Turn left for a few hundred metres, then leave it and turn quickly right at the sign, direction Col de Souillet. Keep to this path, due North through the forest, to reach the pass.
(6) Turn right at the sign, direction Col Fromage, along a balcony path overlooking the Guil valley. At the end of the forest, continue on to Col Fromage.
(7) Turn to the right, take the GR®5, which is shared with a variant of the GR®58. Keep to the Red-White markings. Follow the wide track to the hamlet of Villard.
(8) Follow the wide track to the right as far as the skating rink car park (S/E).
