Park in the car park of Saint-Hughes church.
(S/E) Take the path that runs along the cemetery towards the north-west. Your grassy path crosses a meadow. It leads you to the edge of a wood, towards a signpost.
(1) Signpost "Flin - 880m". Follow the direction of La Martinière and enter the woods. The path descends steeply. You will come to a stream which you cross via a dilapidated but still solid concrete bridge.
(2) Once you have crossed the bridge, you will see a stream on your left, which you can cross either by using planks, if possible, or by balancing on stones. Continue along a narrow path that first enters a forest, crosses another stream using two planks, then climbs up a meadow towards the south-west. You will have a stream on your left (if you cannot see it, you will hear it). You will arrive at the hamlet of Les Michallets and a small road with faded tarmac. Follow it to the left. Pass an old sawmill that has been converted into a sheep and goat farm. Your small road will fork to the left and start to climb steeply. Follow it to the hamlet of Cherlieu (signposted Cherlieu-calvaire - 930m).
(3) You will arrive at the D57b. Turn left. Be careful, as there may be traffic. Before a small bridge over a stream, continue on a path that runs along the road on the right. You will come out onto a meadow. Go back down to the road when it is 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 that climbs up to the right. Cut across the slopes of the small Les Égaux ski resort (the main slopes are on your right, with the beginners' slope on the left). Sign: Les Égaux - 960m towards Les Epallets. You will arrive in front of a barn. Go around it on the left (sign: direction Brévardière). The path descends quite steeply. You will come to a small road, which you take on the right. At the fork, go left towards the holiday centre.
(5) Just after the chapel and the holiday camp building, take the path on the left. It descends towards a stream, which you cross to come up a small road, the Route du Col du Coq.
(6) Turn left and descend towards the hamlet of La Brévardière, which you will cross.
(7) You will come to a complex crossroads. Sign: direction Saint-Hugues. Take the second small road on your left (no vehicles allowed). Cross a narrow bridge in poor condition. You will come to a small road which you follow to the right. You will see the church of Saint-Hugues and our starting point (S/E).
