Park in the car park at Saint-Hughes Church.
(S/E) Take the path that runs alongside the cemetery heading north-west. Your grassy path crosses a meadow. It leads you to the edge of a wood, towards a signpost.
(1) Sign for “Flin – 880m”. Follow the sign for La Martinière and enter the woodland. The path descends steeply. You’ll come to a stream, which you cross via a weathered concrete bridge that’s still sturdy.
(2) Once you’ve crossed the bridge, you’ll see a stream on your left, which you’ll cross – either using planks if you’re lucky, or by balancing on stones. You continue along a narrow path which first leads into a high forest, crosses another stream via two planks, then climbs up a meadow heading south-west. There is a stream on your left (if you can’t see it, you’ll hear it). You reach the hamlet of Les Michallets and a small road with a worn tarmac surface. Follow it to the left. You’ll pass an old sawmill that has been converted into a sheep and goat farm. The road naturally branches off to the left and begins to climb steeply. Follow it to the hamlet of Cherlieu (signposted ‘Cherlieu-calvaire – 930m’
(3) You’ll come out onto the D57b. Turn left onto it. Take care, as there may be traffic. Before a small bridge over a stream, continue along a path that runs alongside the road on the right. You’ll emerge onto a meadow. Head back down onto the road when it’s level with you. A little further on, cut across a bend by taking a short path on the right.
(4) When you reach the hamlet of Les Égaux, take the small path leading uphill to the right. Cut across the slopes of the small Les Égaux ski resort (the main ones on your right, the beginners’ slope on the left). Sign: ‘Les Égaux – 960m’ towards Les Epallets. You’ll come to a barn and go round it on the left (sign: towards Brévardière). The path descends quite steeply. You’ll come out onto a small road, which you take to the right. When you reach a Fork in the road, take the left-hand path towards the holiday camp.
(5) Just past the chapel and the holiday camp building, take the path on the left. It descends towards a stream, which you cross before heading back up onto a small road, the Route du Col du Coq.
(6) Turn left and head down towards the hamlet of La Brévardière, which you pass through.
(7) You’ll come to a complex crossroads. Signposted: towards Saint-Hugues. Take the second small road on your left (closed to all vehicles). Cross a narrow bridge, which is in a poor state of repair. You’ll come out onto a small road, which you follow to the right. You’ll be within sight of the church at Saint-Hugues, and therefore our starting point (S/E).
